Just ordered a new laptop, and a new desktop for my dad (because his is old and it's having a bunch of problems lately, so it's pretty much kaput).

I get up at 5 AM every morning for school. I really don't have to, I just like to have time to get on the computer before I have to go to my bus stop at 6:36.

Oh shucks! Wow Felix went from a TS yesterday to a CAt 5!

What's even more shocking is how it went from 140 mph winds one advisory to 165 mph the next. :crazy: It looks very healthy on the IR satellite, too: http://www.weather.com/maps/news/atlstorm6/atl6satellite_large.html
