Anyone up for joining me in purchasing one-way tickets to New Zealand? A-yup. I often talk with the Mrs. about the 3 of us stealing away like theives in the night. I'm sure our Little One would love growing up in such a beautiful land, sorrounded by fields and mountains. My wife would love tending to the horses, and I could be quite content being a simple carpenter. Ahhh...bliss. Ok, enough daydreaming...I've got reports to finish! *grumbles*

The one I slapped (pretty hard) was a Toshiba. Went down and never came back up. Now I have a Desktop... for school work.

Yep...sounds about right. We had multiple laptops end up with bad hard drives, presumably because the casing is too flexible. They work great in one spot, but seem to fall apart if you actually MOVE them, which seems kinda pointless for a laptop, especially one that's supposed to be very lightweight for easier portability.

Their customer service was good, but so is Dell's, and I didn't have to call them as often. ;-)

Well, I whacked it in its more sensitive spots... and it crashed. It wasn't worth fixing. It was old and slow.

I was trying to arrange to buy a Dell and was so thoroughly frustrated with their customer service that I told them to "bite me". I bought one of their competitors. But, I have heard nothing but nice things about the actual Dell Computers.

Sam looks absolutely frantic. I wonder what it's about.

I wondered that too from the moment I saw the trailer. At first, I thought that it was Sam with Frodo after he had been stung by Shelob, but if rumor is true, that's not happening until RotK.

I should have told the professor to "bite me" and just wrote my notes anyway.

Hehehe...I would have told him to do something you can't post on a G-rated thread....one reason why you won't see me going back to school.

Mad Dawgg... did you see Jimmy Kimmel's bit on Fox Pregame Show about the Browns' orange jerseys. It was quite funny.

Hm...that's odd. I've always been treated very nicely (which is more than I can say about certain other companies...*cough**cough* Gateway and Compaq *cough**cough*). But then, I've really only dealt with their business sales department, which may be different.

"Mad Dawgg... did you see Jimmy Kimmel's bit on Fox... No I missed that One!

I did however seeDeion handing out candy to the trick or treaters.

He gave the little "Tim Couch" a pair of Ear muffs (for when Kelly Holcomb is healed up) and a Bottle of No-tears shampoo (cuz there is no crying in football!) heheheh that was soooo juicy!

Renaissance music,

It is more Medieval than Renaissance, but have you heard of the group "Sequentia"? I got a CD of Christmas music by them last year, "Aquitania". It is music from Aquitanian monateries of the 12th Century. I have another one that I haven't even opened yet, called "Edda" and it is music about myths of Medieval Iceland sung in ancient Viking!! I'm going to give it to Sir SuziQ to have one of the kids 'give it to me for Christmas', if I can wait that long. It just occurred to me that this is the world Tolkien studied and from which he gleaned a lot of info on LoTR!! I hadn't even read the back of the CD until just now. I may break that sucker open right now and let the kids give me something ELSE for Christmas!
