I get up this morning and prepare for my busy day of work. First problem the printer won't print damn spools error. after several reboots I've finally got the paperwork in order and I head out the door. I've got my brief case with the laptop in my left hand, the body of one of my kids basses that I'm getting repainted under my right arm and an open can of Pepsi in my right hand. I juggle stuff around and somehow get my keys out of my jacket pocket and the van won't unlock. after pressing the button several time I realize that the old van is unlocking and I have the wrong keys so I need to go back in the house and get the right ones. I'm not going to carry all this back in the house so I lean the computer against the tire and I look for a place to set the bass, finding nowhere suitable I carry it with me to the house and get the keys. Since I have a free hand now I grab a new Pepsi since this one is almost empty. Getting back to the truck I get it open and the drink has an empty can in it so I need to move that to set down the open one and I make room for the bass get everything where it needs to go and jump in the drivers seat fire up the engine and throw it in drive. The van rolls just fine for about 15 feet when suddenly it jerks up and over to the right just a bit and totally freaks me out! Thats when I remember the laptop in the briefcase.

If anyone needs me I'm on the web comparing models and features.

Now that sucks!!!!!!!

made my day seem better

Freakin' A Trouble! Perhaps you need just a few days of relaxing .

~S! Sir, look at the positive side of ,! you will have a new laptop !

They can probably rescue the drive data, those discs are pretty compact and tough.

I have seen that happen before. My business partner did the same 'lean the briefcase on the rear wheel while loading' and proceeded to back up over his high end MacBook. Those things are not cheap, over 2K.

Ouch Those Macs are expensive! I gat one for my kid a couple years ago and I think we paid around 2500.

I got myself a Sony Vaio today. Its got an i7 with 6 gig od ram and a GT425m Nvidia with a a gig of DDR5. and plays blue-rays. Cause you need all that to run a glorified office program

the real question is. ... how well will it run IL2?

LOL, I'll probably load IL2, RoF, StarCraft II, and a cople of other games on here so I'll let you know.

The best part is that I got this one because my wife wanted one that will play games so when we go to Dayton she'll have something to do if we do another LAN.

Dude I can see troub on his lunch breakin out the portable joystick and pulling some flight time.
