Hey there, I'm a student who is about to get a 5 year old Toshiba, so I thought that I'd better join. I want to get the most the most out of the laptop, and (hopefully) upgrade it a bit. I'm starting to learn programming, and currently use alot of design programs (autocad and the like). Can't wait to start posting!
