Laptop Computer

I am posting this quick journal entry to let my friends know what's been happening for me lately. As everyone may already know, yesterday was actually April Fools' Day, but I wasn't able to log onto deviantART that day because I was out doing some shopping for myself like I sometimes do each month, so I hope I didn't miss too much that went on while I was gone. Anyway, I was finally able to save up enough of my money to get a laptop computer recently, which I was able to buy at a local Staples for about $300. I've been wanting to get a laptop computer for quite a while so that I won't have to rely on the desktop computer that everyone else in my family uses, especially if I need it to work on some pictures that I need to get done at my own pace. Even though I was able to buy my laptop computer, I haven't actually been able to use it yet because I need to get some antivirus software before I begin setting it up, and I'd also like to get a small desk for my room as well. The type of antivirus software I was thinking of getting was VIPRE, which we have currtently installed in our desktop, but I was thinking of installing McAffe Antivirus for a change. If anybody has any suggestions for which antivirus software would be suitable to install on a laptop computer like mine, I would gladly appreciate it as well as any advice for my laptop computer before I start using it.
