I did buy my computer.  (There was a new model and I started worrying that
if I waited too long, all my old hardware would no longer be compatible
with later versions.  So, I felt compelled to buy now.)

It's a "book pc".  See

I wanted something that took up less space, but could accomodate more memory
than a laptop.  I bought the barebones model and added my own CPU, memory,
and hard-drive.  I'm still setting it up at this point.  I hope to have it
nearly completely set-up by the end of this weekend.

I'm free for dinner either Saturday or Sunday.  Don't know about Noelle.
