We will probably be interested in a used macbook at some point too - Tom had the real small one awhile back but the hard drive failed.

He really liked it and made noises about wanting another. Not sure it's worth it now he has the iPhone though

What a crazy busy day. It is great what you can get done being up at 4 am.

Finished an 8 hour project and billed for it, plus another 3 hours of billable time to another client, work on finishing a "big" project which will soon pay $1200, and even some volunteer work.

Ready to crash big time though. I see an early bed time in my future

Thought Crazy was helping you get an academic discount as I've heard of several people doing that.
No, he has an older Macbook, he mentioned at D&D, he would sell it
So I asked for details and pic and price
And now I wait
very cool. So I take it interwebz will be making its way into your home soon

I really want a bigger screen for some picture stuff I'm doing, and I could use a real keyboard for KSRT stuff I'm doing
Work is becoming more and more hectic and I need to have the ability to do more at home, doing 10+ hours a day in the office nowadays has me doing 10+ hours of billable work without time to do the other stuff
I think, but I'm not sure, a tablet would help, and I like the tablet keyboard case below, and I'm using an Acer monitor right now and love it, so the Acer tablet and keyboard seems like a viable option
The Macbook will do lots and lots more, and I can create a hot spot with Droid for the Macbook so when I wanted to connect with it I could, although I suspect that would be a limited need
It all boils down to price, and I await Marc's input, the Acer A500 is only $400 at Best Buy, I would spend a bit more for the Mac laptop, but not anywhere even f'ing remote to the price of a new one...

I'm going fo post an F1 spoiler


Looks like USA F1 may indeed have gotten a date change
Now the tentative schedule has it just before season ender in Brazil, putting it in Nov
It's possible the Texas race could be the one that defines the season champions
And of course Nov will be cooler than June
This is great news, and makes so much sence

I know you said you don't watch practice, but here is something to think about
I do watch it, and mostly because that show is just packed full of news
The drives and the times may not be amazing, but the news and the stories shared are
Just something to think about
