Update: I got a Win7 ISO and installed that, after a few tries, and the machine worked great... for about 30 hours. Then there were problems again. Tried installing the OEM again, didn't work, so I installed off the ISO again. It worked a couple hours then crashed a lot. I got it sent off a while ago and got it back today. They say all they did was reinstall windows to factory settings and update the BIOS (which is what I tried to do 14 times, with the discs they provided). Well, they installed it for the wrong model, but after some messing around with it I got everything I've come across to work. So far, it hasn't bogged down yet. We'll see how it is in a few days, but for now, I have a working machine again. Thanks for all the help, guys... a couple of you, especially. Next time, though... I'm just gonna get a MacBook Air. Screw it. **BRENT**

FWIW, the 11" MBA resolution (1366x768) is the same as my 15" laptop, and most 15" laptops under about 1000$. The 13" MBA (1440x900) screen has the same resolution as the 15" MBP Standard display, and either is probably a better choice than the 13" MBP, with 1280x800 screen. I think people may find the 11" MBA cramped due to it being a 16:9 ratio screen vs the others at 16:10. Losing a few pixels in height, relative to the others, may give you that feeling. Just a thought. **BRENT**

Is this a repost? If not, enjoy. **BRENT**

Woke up at 6 something to get the car washed (twice) and ready for a BMW drive through the mountains. Got stopped by a 90ft tall tree that was downed by the wind across the road. Got to help some park rangers pull it off the road after the chain saws came in. Hit a place called the Cajun Depot for a blackened chicken sandwich and came back over the mountains and a bunch of different back roads. Then I took the kids to a birthday party at an inflatable place (Partyville), and went home for a nap. Skipped the nap, went to the Chattanooga Symphony Orchestra for Big Band Fever! They had two dance floors, and I had my 20D and 50 f/1.4. Hope the shots came out. Oh yeah... I didn't get a ticket before hand, so took my chances with the box office. Nice lady at the front, chatted a second, and got front row at the end, right in front of the stairs leading to the stage dance floor (only person not in the balcony with a clear view of the dancers) and had the best view of the lower dance floor as well. Not bad for a last minute purchase. Oh yeah, met up with some people from MENSA who were there and went out for desert after the show. Struck up a convo with the pianist on the walk to the diner. Friendly guy. All in all, a pretty good day! **BRENT**

Feliz navidad, Jefe! **BRENT**

Anyone wanna print out some posters? **BRENT**

Done x7. Hit F5 to refresh and you can vote again, but be careful, it WILL change position on you if you're not paying attention. **BRENT**

Just don't let Colin too close, Fritz... and you'll be ok. **BRENT**

That sux, man. Glad she's OK. Can't tell if airbag went off on Camry... Low-medium speed incident?

He gave Colin a 3 liter Diet Mtn Dew and bet him he couldn't chug it, then throw all those cups up in the air while he took a picture. It was funnier than just making Colin do it. **BRENT**

I think you need to correct for the lens to make it look right. The cars in the foreground were distracting on both. The top picture, the lights near top center weren't right, which distracted from the rest. Looking back, I kinda like the second one... but still don't like the one with the cop car. **BRENT**

Jeff, really bummed to hear your disappointment with the lens. My bad. Honestly, the first pics you posted, though they were "meh," but I LOVE the Zuccotti Park and cups shot, and really like Shake Shack and Tree. I wonder if you're just spoiled with your L glass functionality. **BRENT**

Nikon blows, get more Canons. **BRENT**
