And we all thought the diaper/formula stage was the most expensive,lol!

We had the same problem until we bought a new desktop and laptop. We kept the old desktop and set it up in oldest dd's room. We have a wireless network, so we are all hooked up to the internet and can use the internet at the same time. We purchased a wireless router for about $50 and ta-da! we are all on the internet! We thought about just having internet on one computer, but oldest dd's (freshman) textbooks are available on-line and she does use that a lot. Better than carrying a ton of textbooks home!

You can get a pretty decent laptop for $600 or so. Check out Best Buy. We bought the desktop and laptop from them about a month ago and spent less than what we did on our old 2002 desktop.
