Basically, yeah. I bought an HP laptop in the fall. I didn't like it for a few reasons, so I kept using my old one. Unfortunately, I'd bought it at a discount in such a way that I couldn't return it for a refund. Meanwhile, one of my housemates had their laptop break and started using my new one. My old laptop continued to get older, so I eventually did the proper research and found something satisfactory.

So I own three laptops. One in poor condition dual-booting XP and Ubuntu (in storage in my room), a fairly new one dual-booting Vista and Ubuntu (being used by someone else), and a very shiny one running Ubuntu (which I'm using right now).
