I finally took the plunge and got a new laptop. I went for power over portability, and got a nice big 17" Toshiba with a quad-core processor and 6 gigs of RAM for, you know...RAMy purposes. And it's been great - I have no complaints about the computer.

Problem is, my lap just wasn't big enough to support such a honking laptop. I know, I know, you're not supposed to actually use your laptop on your lap, but who are we kidding? Everybody does. So I was faced with a bit of a conundrum, and I thought I might have to return the computer.

That's when I heard about Dr. Zilmore. He is an almost fully-licensed medical professional who has invented his own lap-extension surgery! It's truly revolutionary. It costs less than you think (if you were thinking anything over $125,000), and it gives small-lapped individuals such as myself a chance to experience the world of 17" laptops that we had been long denied.

So as soon as I get these casts off in September, I'll be a whole new woman. Watch out, world: Cindy Garrett and her 4-foot lap are coming for ya!
