Handy since you're not moving it around. I don't like typing on laptop keyboards.

So basically you have a smaller desk top now

I was hoping for thinner.

Wellllllll. It turns on and off differently.

What make did you end up getting?

The HP that Woot had up a couple weeks ago. New, not a refurb, and most of the comments didn't say it was a POS. Checked Amazon and most of the reviews were positive. No bells and whistles. Wouldn't be good for gaming. 449.

17 " screen, so it's heavy, but I don't plan on carrying it around. It's mainly for backup. (Except to Starbucks so I'll look cool.)

Sounds very practical even though Starbucks is becoming passe!

That's me, never on the cutting edge.

Heh; I'm firmly on the trailing edge!

You'll enjoy it. Especially when you travel

Edit: Congrats on the new laptop Poof! Now you can take us with you on trips!

Edit x2: You know, if I delete your spam, what makes you think that I won't delete it when you post with a new account just a few minutes later?

Who's spamming and where?

Oh yeah, I remember seeing a couple of those a while back.

jerks.

ThunderThighs wrote:Agreed. I chased one person down for over an hour one early morning. I was deleting/probating and s/he kept creating accounts.

How you doing? You're up late. I don't get to talk at you much any more.

I am in bed; dozed for awhile, but guess I wasn't ready for real sleep. Will be soon, though.

Alas and alack, not a millionaire.

Couldn't you have woot check all the links, and if it redirects to the site then you block it?

ThunderThighs wrote:Probably but there's development time involved in that. Plus slowing down the site to check every link.

I'm fairly certain that that would not slow the site down any. I wouldn't think it would take much development time, nor would I be surprised if there was a plugin that would do it for you.

AZGman wrote:Heh; I'm firmly on the trailing edge!

Turns out, a well weathered trail is a lot easier to traverse, and less likely to intersect a rattlesnake.

Night all. Tomorrow.

Good morning all.

Morning. Raining and cool...but forecast no longer includes snow.

Why must dogs get up so early in the morning?

Starbucks.

Because you have them in a routine. They must follow it.

Well, I don't have them in a routine, as I'm only home on weekends.

Mornin'. Painter coming by for an estimate; carpet folks this afternoon for spot treatment prior to whole floor. Carpenter to call for estimate appt.

Let the spending begin.
