Started reading The 5,000 Year Leap yesterday. I'm absolutely adoring the Amazon Kindle. I could stare at it all day with zero eye strain. The long battery life is just comical, really. I do feel a bit more comfortable buying from the computer though, the toggle switch navigation can be a bit squirrley. Thankfully its a non-issue during reading. I just glanced through this thread and have gotten some great new ebooks for it. Many for $1 or less

lol yeah, its a last-ditch effort. No luck this time though. I sit here typing as I listen to the drive's swan song.

Yeah, surprised me, since it was working flawlessly last I knew. Ehh, a dime a dozen these days, no biggie. When I get some initiative I'll go grab it out of the freezer and see if I can salvage the few excel docs I think I need off of it. Work history and stuff.

first this then this

Awesome! I'll interpret that as "pay what you think its worth".

I was guessing micarta until you said that. Corian is probably more likely.

open up your mind, open up your purse Open up your vault, never, never gonna lose it Fuck yeah.

Rar whore.

Will do, I paid extra to have it arrive on Saturday too, cause that's how I roll It was kind of an unplanned splurge, but all the other toys I want (read: audio) are significantly more money. So I can't really justify the price, but that is how I rationalize it.

Hmmm, I don't remember if I bought it at Newegg or Best Buy. I guess I'll find out tonight....

actually, I guess thats a good idea. I suppose if they honor them without paperwork, I could get a new one. edit: Its definitely not 5 years old yet. Probably 3 or so.

The drive? Doubtful. I bought that one a long time ago, and probably don't even have the paperwork for it anymore. I took it out of a computer thats been sitting unused in my parent's basement. I don't think I've used that computer at all in practically a year.

Powermac isnt a laptop is it? I dont know much about previous apple designs. If its a desktop midtower, I'd go for a WD 640gb drive. 2 platters, quiet, cool, and now fairly cheap. Usually can be had for ~ $70 iirc. I also have a Seagate 500gb drive in a ziplock bag in my freezer. I'm going to try to grab a few things off of it tonight and you can have it after that, no charge

Damn, I may have to move to Montana. They've got moxie http://data.opi.mt.gov/bills/2009/billhtml/HB0246.htm All firearms, short barrel shotguns, short barrel rifles, silencers, and firearms with a bore under 1.5" are deemed exempt from the NFA if they're made in MT.

I'm still waiting for it to show up online.
