god damn that looks comfortable todd. enjoy.

logic gates remain open until apple comes out with the netbook itself. i wonder if that infrared keyboard would be any good for use with it.

ORRRRRRRR what if tethering works and flash doesnt

i have no intention to buy any apple products. i think it would be a reasonable assumption that with everyone running to buy the new apple netbook, their competitors might drop the prices by a few bucks. may or may not happen. i dont know for certain.

ive decided to wait until the apple netbook surfaces or black friday whichever comes first. should either drive the price of netbooks down or get me a reduction in price of a x200 (hopefully i can get it with a 3 year warranty by that time for under 1k)

thanks for the offer absorbine but i have very fat fingers. 7" will probably far too tight for even pecking. thanks though.

thanks to both ^ a quite nicely configured x200 can be had for $1100. dont know if the netbook is worth the money at this point...perhaps ill wait for back to school sales. maybe i can catch something cheaper at best buy (have $250 in gift cards for there so trying to stick to it).

currently looking at acer aspire one (aod250). can be had from sams club for $294. i dont HAVE to spend the above mentioned amount. also cant find any real information about the differences between the z-series chips and the n-series chips except for just a different in the bus speeds. anyone actually know more about them? requirements (things i would like to have) windows xp/linux (NO VISTA. under no conditions) < 3 lbs battery should hold charge for at least 2.5 hours. (heavier laptop is ok if battery lasts longer) fanless would be nice but active cooling is ok as long as its not too loud. color must be black. dont want a fingerprint magnet but if its cheap ill live with it. dont care for hdd size/gpu etc. netbook will only be used at school for doing math shit/open office/internet. basically either all this or i just save for another month and get a lenovo x200. any thoughts/suggestions?

battery powered tube amps look cool. (is that what they are?)

for a stereo config, how big of a room would be required/adequate for these speakers?

i have a few different copies of vista licenses + xp tablet 2005 edition + windows 7 rc. no charge. i get them for free through msdnaa. just pay for shipping and i can send over the dvd/cd by thursday/friday. take a look at the following. the flagged names are ones that i have already used up. unflagged ones are what i can get licenses for.

ive been looking at the arcam solo/solo mini for a friend. depending on how much power you need and if you really really really like your sources, it may or may not be worth looking at. that said, ive done only a little research into the matter so take this post lightly.

im starting to believe the whole garbage in garbage out idea. on the run of the mill shitty mp3 encodes, the laptop speakers sound exactly like one would assume - shitty. however, on the tracks i got from hdtracks and some other hi rez stuff and well recorded albums (sara k, patricia barber, dave koz) they actually dont sound half bad. better than ibuds at least. i cant stand them with good quality music (higher bitrate etc etc)

damn i feel stupid. thanks.

anyone know the first song in the intro of the above posted video?

happy birthday sir dac.

happy birthday!

hbd sir. hope you had a good one.

she is under age. and as far as i know, no. and it better stay that way. she is one of the "cool" kids. doesnt like hanging out with nerds like myself so a collection of us will be harder to sell her on.

while i do thank everyone for the kind words, lets try to keep this thread on track. sorry for derailing it in the first place.

count me out of this one. parents just left for india. grandpa passed away. have to stay home with the sis. they come back on the 17th so might be able to come on the 18th if anything is going on then.

you might have been a little too drunk at la. given that i wasnt at la and what not...but thanks

what amps are those?

damn birthdays for everyone happy birthday sir.

im on nob hill and southgate. well south of southgate on nob hill. shoot me a pm if you ever have a few hours to kill. ill skip on over for a listen. i just want to see how they compare to the 127e based monitor i have heard. hearing the metronomes wouldnt hurt either
