An independent C# Developer in the Netherlands

New laptop

Hmm .. After quiting my job on 31-12-2003 I had a Dell m50 laptop. And I must say 1600X1400 on a 15' display is fabulous. I had the option to take it over for a reasonable price. Last wednesday I heard the price.. Ahum 1.500 euro's for a seconf hand laptop is way too much. Certainly when you consider I started my own business on 1-1-2004.
As I need a laptop to may an income I needed to buy a new one. First on my mind was the Dell company.  Top Product at a top price (if you have the time) the delivery would be 2 weeks after receiving payment and due to a shortage on tft desplays a couple of days would be added.

Guess I can close business if I wait that long. Eventually went to a store nearby and bought mysel an Acer Travelmate 660. Nice machine nice keyboard. At the same price I now have a real fancy machine. 1.7  centrino chip and a dvd+/-RW writer onboard.

Now I need to deduct it from the taxes. ( hopefully in 1 year as I live from this notebook !?!)

I am sorry. Couldn't find the right english word. It is bonus programs. In the case of movieminutes it is that every dvd has a unique code applied, this code needs to be registered on the internet. Then you recieve a number of socalled 'MovieMinutes' to your account. Eventually you can buy DVD's with these points'. This is one of the apps that uses a web based bonus program.
