the laptop-buying urge is back, this time set off by an offer in the mail for 0% APR for one year on balance transfers... Which means, once again, that I'd have a year to pay off the purchase. It'd be easy. Also, this would be a nice card to have; higher return rate on the card, and in cash rather than "sony points"... I've still got about $450 worth of Sony brand stuff coming to me that I don't know how to spend...
What is it with me and stuff?

I never charge what I can't pay off that month on my credit card.
If you're just using the 0%apr as a weird sort of 6% earnings on your money, well, that's different. Not a game I'd play, but it's ok.
I desperately need a new one, but don't want to spend N grand without having a job. The old one has to do for now.
I've really liked the Compaq desktop machine I have had for a couple of years now; the engineering in the case is very impressively user-friendly.
The fact that a week or two after having first spotted this machine, I'm still thinking it's a great deal, is starting to push me over the edge... But I'm going to hold off even longer, make sure I don't come up with other reasons not to get it. Like, say, wanting to save money for trips to Boston. But I can afford both, I'm pretty sure. Especially if I think about going some non-Thanksgiving time, when I can go for $200.
buy plane tickets!
