They probably learned from their mistakes, but that particular model was known for being able to run too hot. I killed it by playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. on it. Too much for the poor thing.

As for my day, I just got back into town last night from my trip to attend the Hackers On Planet Earth conference in Manhattan with a few friends. Saw some great talks and workshops, took in the city, and now I'm glad to be home to recharge.

Not sure if I should tough it out and hit a course today after work, but I haven't been outside all weekend because of the itching, swelling, fever and delirium (and neck pain possibly) from ^said spider bite. I have a tournament this weekend and Ledgestone is coming up soon. I need to keep my game on point and it's perfect disc golf weather today.

Thought that was poison ivy? And I see you have Mindfulness Syndrome too, you poor guy!

Got my umbrella base. Gotta work on the alignment.....
P.S. The car condom is because between my shade trees shedding like crazy and the desert dirt/dust thing, it's impossible to keep the Xterra clean.

ASUS eh? I had an ASUS, years ago. It was ****, but then, it was ****. Terrible specs. Very slow. 1 gig memory if I remember. Spent a lot of time looking at the clock, waiting...

This sounds good, and PC advice from you is always worth listening to.

He's converted.

So, a lap tray or something?
