It's a win-win. @Luke: Desktops have their advantages, but portability isn’t one of them.

The $250 split between you vs. the ~$700+ to buy a new laptop in the event that yours is stolen makes it worthwhile. Plus, you plan on selling it so once you get the money back for it means that you'll have spent not very much, if anything at all, for a lot of peace of mind. I can't wait to hear all about your adventures in Europe! I wonder if I’m the only one who got the Back to the Future quote.

I can be mean to my computer-- at least it is FREE. This is my first and hopefully only laptop; desktops are far and away superior. Poor thing is going to have to have to stand the abuse until I can build a new one. If I go to grad school, that may be never! Sad!
