Do I take the computer?

So I am getting ready to drive back to my new place - which is over 1,000 miles away. I am driving a small car with my daughter, space is minimal. I will be back here again at some point, I highly doubt he will throw any of my things out - that isn't his style.

So here is the question - do I take the computer??? It is a nice one - flat screen, etc. He is a computer guy so it is top of the line. The down side is I will have to figure out how to put it together, need a table, etc, it will take up most of the space in my car (we are talking sports car). He doesn't care if I take it or not. Has all the accessories - printer, scanner, etc. Of course I would hope it would not get stolen out of my car we will have to stay at LEAST one night in a hotel on the way down. Has music I downloaded and many, many of my pictures. Or should I take other stuff, get a laptop when I am down there, and then maybe take this later. He is very knowledgeable about computers, any information he wants about what I have done on this computer - he could find out if he has not already. I have been pretty careful about what I type on this computer, so there is nothing he could find out that he probably doesn't already know....

Any input??? I am packing....

I say take it. It has all your pictures and personal stuff. I would just be worried if you left it there and he did something to the personal stuff on there. You don't have to take the printer and scanner right away.. Just worry about the monitor, hard drive and the mouse... oh and the keyboard. If you do take it, just cover it up in the car with a blanket when you are away from the car.

Good Luck with everything ... and keep us posted.

I totally agree with Lauren, if he's good on computers, take it!!!
Take care of yourself.
