Weird geekiness...

johnpalmerOkay... see, I got this laptop working, and it is *SWEET*. I mean, we're talking *185*, you dig me? I mean, * *ONE* HUNDRED EIGHTY-FIVE*!
What do you mean you don't get it? I have a fully functional laptop computer that runs everything I need, it even seems to have a functional battery that will probably last five or more minutes, and it was only $185.
And, see, it runs *WELL*. It's a 90mhz Pentium (only problem: 90mhz means a 60mhz bus... but that won't be much of serious problem. Still, a 100mhz pentium means a 66mhz bus, leading to a more-than-11% increase in speed (11% from 90 to 100, 1/9th an increase)
ahem. Okay, that proves that I *AM* a geek, right? Anyway: 40 megs of memory (do y'all remember when that was *GOOD*? When it cost, like, $200 for that much memory? Instead of $20 for 128 (or is it 256, now?) megs?, two gigs of hard drive space, a CD-ROM, and floppy drive... it's nice. Now, if I can only manage to use it to study more at work.
Speaking of which....
