Depends whether the manager is packaging today or tomorrow... I'm sure you'll get a tracking number

Loving the new puter. Simple Greened it last night. It was very clean. Learning 7 Pro.
Thinking of partitioning the hard drive to keep programs apart from the OS. Is this done on 7?

Also is there a way to make a set of back up system disks?

The Bronze/Brown color is distinctly ghetto, I'm sorry but it's true. I feel like I need to get a gold front tooth now.

Very glad to hear it! At least 5 of those fingerprints were mine.

Up today is a Toshiba which will be a real sleeper because it needs a new battery. And what I do is, I put in the link to the right search for new batteries on eBay, right into the listing.

Evil monster thought: we should all follow this link and then surf ebay for sex toys or vice versa, so when people look at this listing the "People who shopped for this item also looked at" section at the bottom will be much more entertaining

Apart from that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

The computer just overheated itself into a half hour long coma.

I downloaded speed fan and saw the temps at about 83c and the fan at 0 rpm.



Looking for a new fan.

dang We leave these systems on for a while, as we wipe the hard drives and reload the OS, but it's hard to test for everything. Let me know if you want to try a different system, ah, such as the Toshiba.

Guy: Do you buy movies?
Sammy: Not right now.
Guy: Porn movies? I have Chinese amputee hermaphrodite.
Sammy (unfazed): We don't buy used porn, we bring that in new.

Down here at the pawn shop

You guys are a tough and jaded bunch. I've never even heard of Chinese amputee hermaphrodite porn.

Prolly wouldn't buy it either but I might click a link.

I'm gonna open the back and check out the fan. A new one is only about fifteen bucks.

Do you think the Toshiba is a better ride?

Do you know how much he wanted for it? I'll pay extra for amputee pandas

The Tosh is marginally better, but I'll tellya what, probably not for the bump in price. I don't like the trackpad on it. It's smaller and just doesn't have the kind of touch I like.

I like the asus. For the price of a fan it's no biggie

I'm going home in a few and I'll test it.

It seems that the OS is partitioned already so if I have to ever do a reinstall I can just install to that partition wo having to reinstall all my software

Most laptops have that recovery partition where they make it easy to start from scratch. It's a great feature.
