on Tuesday October 12, 2010 @ 10:14pm>> [ reply ][ rating +0 ] In my attempt to make myself feel better I went out and spent some money on myself. I just picked up a Lenovo X301 laptop (demo unit, last one in the store) and it's brilliant. What a fantastic little laptop. 13" (1400x900), great screen, fantastic keyboard, wifi, wlan, SSD drive, I've loaded it up to 4gb and win7 is quick as can be. Just brilliant. This thing is even lighter then my Atom netbook. I've always wanted to get a Thinkpad since even before IBM sold them but they have always been a bit on the $$ side.. but since I'm going to be doing some traveling and training, I figured time to get a better notebook. I'm totally happy with the purchase. I almost got one of the T410s's, but I saved over $500 getting the X301 and it seems to be that it might be a quieter, cooler and plenty powerful laptop. Yeah Me. Now I just need to find a place to live. I hear there are houses for sale on Second Life :) I loves me a little retail therapy. Especially if it involves gadgets, tech or guns Soon, it will be a sin for parents to have a child which carries the heavy burden of genetic disease. --Bob Edwards |

Regardless, I'll bring a few if you like well, you don't have to go that far, but I know my friend up here would love to pick your brain (as would I) in regards to purchasing a new handgun. He is curious about the discussion on ammo size, interchangeability of barrels (if possible) to load different sized rounds for practice vs home defense. So we'll head over to a gun shop and talk shop. I showed him that picture from FB of your collection and he thought it was cool. I don't know if we will have time to find a range or anything, but talk about guns will happen. BTW - i would like your flight details please. Thanks.. "[Sigh] - I hate you Kenny" -- Cartman |
