I been bad.  But, I can justify it - honest.  :P

I got a shiny new laptop.  Now I can sit in the family room watching NCIS and Food Network reruns while perusing the forum.

My digital camera is 10 years old, my 'old' computer is a 7 year old Dell mid-tower and I don't own a cell phone.  I was craving new technology.  Hey, I still use the DOS command box.

Curt - Battery goes about six hours based on testing last night but both the computer and I took a nap.  ;)

Mike - I'm not selling anything but ...  This thing went for $379 on Buy.com, a refurb that looks like new.  17" screen, 2 core processor that just came out in June, 4 GB main memory, 640 GB drive, camera and the rest of the stuff.  Screen is 1600x900, better than most.  I've been into computers for too many years and it was just too good to pass up.

No mac, too much $$$ but I do have a lot of respect for Apple.  Did you ever hear of a Lisa?

The iPad doesn't have sufficient heat settings for my back  ;D

An iPhone?  No one calls me.

I got two boxes - no Boxster required though I did seriously look at one once when I could still get into and out of it.  Then there was the Jag XKE.

Nice deal. That battery will deteriorate the longer you have it. Like any rechargeable battery. Mine is down to less than an hour now.

Agreed.  I usually run with AC power.  The amount of shot batteries in landfills scares the hell outa me.  But, that's another story.

Yes, it does.  I haven't figured out to use it yet.  I'm not sure I'd want to.  I wonder what YouTube category that would go into  :-\

Better hurry, I thought I read where they are getting out of the home PC business.
