Envy

After weeks of admiring my tiny computer from afar, Olof broke down yesterday afternoon and bought one of his very own.  To tell the truth, having known all along that the biggest reason *I* got one was because he really wanted one for himself, I’m a little surprised that he held out as long as he did.

I’m not really sure how much use he’ll get out of it once the newness wears off–he does have a “real” laptop, after all–but he’s having fun with it so far.  And he did have a ready answer when I asked him what he planned to use it for — “It’s for little projects,” he told me.
