Thats the "compromise" most byers have to go with.... and it doesnt sound bad Now i recommend not looking at special offers for at least a couple of months. There is always a better bargain just after you pushed the "buy" button

I agree with the "artsy" thing for Mac.. but not with the "more stable OS". Friends of mine that use Macs have had at least as many problems with the "OS stability" as the windoze users. Its one of the myths that Steve Jobs manages to keep going. It used to be true in the early windows years, but (and i am NOT really a Microsoft fan) since XP and 2000 windows is as stable or unstable as the Mac os. And the "no virus" thing may change faster than Steve Jobs likes (there are plenty of security issues with Mac OS... more than there are with Windows) and with the growing number of Mac users chances that people start writing malware/viruses for Mac are getting higher . Dont get me wrong. Macs are nice PCs. They look better than most "windoze" PCs. And they are more expensive. But they are not better or worse - just different.

Over the last 2 decades i have (ab)used a lot of notebooks of different brands (except Apple, because i always needed windoze compatible hardware) - and Toshiba, HP, Acer and Dell have done the job. My impression is thought that with the drop in hardware prices especially over the last 6 years the hardware and service quality lost a lot too. My last Toshiba notebook started to act funny after 2 years, and Toshiba refused to repair it on warranty (even though i had a 3 year "professional" warranty) because of some scratches on the casing (-> physical damage voids the warranty...). A friends "consumer" Toshiba died just after his 2 year warranty period was over. So one could get the impression that Toshiba has a quality problem nowadays (I never had a problem with my Toshiba notebooks back in the 90ties....). Well, i heard that all (or at least most) manufacturers.. nowadays try to "void" the warranty and refuse repairs when the case is "visible" damaged (even if that is not related to the hardware problem...) but i was pissed so I got a Dell (Precision ) notebook to replace it - which works fine so far (and i am a "heavy duty" user). All in all, i dont see any brand that really stands out though (except that i am still pissed with Toshibas service... and the way they responded to my inquiries). They all offer low price "consumer" models and higher priced "professional" models. I'd do the shopping by "budget" (thats what i do with friends that ask for my advice...), and check for "nice price" offers, and look at things like glossy displays (i dont like them much, but some people prefer them...) screen size and resolution etc etc.

I am not sure, but i think thats the result of "votings" on your posts (the + and - buttons on the bottom right of each post). Seems like people like what you post ;-)

I usually wear some kind of hat (or bandana or whatever) to keep my head warm, or protect it from the sun... (being bald.. both happens easily )

The guys above already gave good info/advice... just one thing that stuck out to me here.. you talk about it in the "past sense"... but its still real and spreading - there is still no cure for it, just drugs that prolongue (and improve) life for the infected. If you tackle the subject ... it'd be great to make the readers aware that it still is a fatal disease....

one (at least for me) VERY important guy is missing... Jaco Pastorius - one of the (dare i say THE) most important/influential electric bass players in rock/pop/jazz ... died at 35 - definitely way too early. hmm, and Michael Brecker - 57 is too young to die and of course Miles Davis - well, he was 65 when he died.. but i am sure he still had lots of great music to play (saw him live on his last tour in March 91.. and it was an awesome concert !) the other musicians that died too early and that i miss haven been pretty much listed - most important for me Hendrix, Morrison, Marley, Lennon, Zappa....

Hey Tiff, i wish you a very happy awesome wonderful birthday hope you have a great day and lotsa fun and all ... may the muse kiss ya (and the cute guy of your dreams as well of course

yes, we have that here as well.. and most cloths now come with labels that show the size numbers of multiple european countries... but brand jeans like Levis and Wrangler and such - at least here - are always labeled with the size in inch. Sometimes there is an additional label on the shelf that shows the german size for those not used to the jeans size.. but the jeans label itself is always in inches... and that was the same everywhere i was shopping for jeans (but i never shopped in the UK.. so maybe its different there.. although i would expect that you use inches in the UK as well !?). Well, it just proves shopping can drive people (at least me) crazy.. especially shopping cloths...

Lol, usually its only bald men that say that

Lol. thats because back in 1842 when the brewery was founded they hired a bavarian brew master Josef Groll . Pilsner beer is actually a genuine bavarian/german invention

Discussions here are rather hot about the vaccine - especially since it was made public the vaccine they are using in Germany contains "enhancers" that are not approved by the FDA in the US and not well tested at all. I don't know of anybody that got the shot yet personaly. I read some people had serious side effects (fever etc.), but others only a sore arm. I won't take the shot. Somehow i get more and more the impression this panic about H1N1 is a well orchestered campaign by the pharma lobby to make LOTS of money and have a massive "field test" for their new "enhancers" at the same time...

Well, Mark Arbour already stated the obvious I "cut" my hair myself for quite some time before I changed to shaving.... it does work fine if you go for a crew cut and use one of those hair clippers. But everything else, i.e. a "real" haircut - better let somebody else do the job. Preferably a pro
