I bought one for my wife, though the $199 laptop became a $440 laptop once upgrades, shipping and tax were factored in.

Stacy decided that she "needed" a laptop so I just ordered a Mini 9 for her. After customizing to have max memory, ss disk space and Bluetooth capability, plus shipping and tax, the total for this $199 laptop was: $441.17 Oh well, still very cheap for a nice laptop. She was pleased that the OS was Ubuntu as she likes to play with Linux.

I got an email from Dell today. They are having a general one day sale so there are other interesting things too. I haven't checked out the Dell web site but here is what was in the email: INSPIRON

My wife has a bunch of VHS tapes so we'll check out the Panasonic DMP-70V when it comes out. It should be a great bluray player and supposedly does a great job of upconverting VHS. If this is true, we'll definitely get one.

Now we know what Van Gogh's brain was doing. It was over compressing reality.

Poor Vince, poor Dinny. My heart's breaking for you.

Just be patient. Sooner or later Mike will buy and then sell a pair.

Neither, you should be using mustard instead of mayo.

My condolences. That's really awful. What you got from her helps keep her memory alive.

That's so you can use it to hang yourself when it finally sinks in how much you spent for it.

Stacy and I met her parents and some of their friends near Pismo Beach and spent the day together. It was mostly fun but I'm now exhausted. I still need a nap.

How does it sound compared to the Warthog?

Why not both?

Happy Birthday Al. How convenient it's on a Friday! :prettyprincess:

Happy Birthday Gary. You built yourself a nice present.

They are not doing too badly down 83-56 with 2:37 to go. Here's a sport at which Binghamton does much worse. They are getting creamed here.

FIFY

I don't think that UConn has much of a chance to go all the way. Losing Jerome Dyson is the reason. Guard play is key in the tournament and not having one's starting point guard pretty much kills a team's chances.

If there is a chair in reach that she can move, you really have to worry.

No problem, one Coors Light coming up.

I don't want to get rid of you, I was just trying to help out your Dad with a problem. The fact that you like the Super 8's makes it more of a problem. If you just ignored them, the problem would go away. So I suggest that you learn to ignore them or the alternative may not be pleasant. BTW Jim, she is really cute. I'm sure that you could get top dollar for her.

Right now, Memphis vs. CSU Northridge. Memphis is struggling and only has a 4 point lead at the half.

The solution is simple. Sell the 2 yr old and use the proceeds to buy a nice source to go with the system.

Mike, I really have no idea what I wrote that bothers you. Was my attacking Frys? I don't see anything that I've written in our little subthread that's asshatish. From my point of view, the second to last post you made was just the weasel being pedantic. Would you like to discuss this more offline?
