NW-Bound said:After hosting Thanksgiving for 28 people, or was it 29 - and I was cooking too, along side DW - I spent quite a bit of time shopping on Friday. Yep, I deserved what I wanted to get.
I needed a certain thing, and went to all the usual places looking for it, such as Best Buy, Staples, Walmart, Costco, etc... Best Buy had something that would work for me, but I was late and it was sold out. Costco had the next runner up and at a very decent price, but it was not exactly what I had in mind, so I did not buy. I may have to do more shopping today.
Heh, hold your horses! I am talking about shopping online here.
About a week ago, my trustworthy laptop suddenly went "kaput". It was so sad. I paid $700 three years ago for this 4.5-lbs 13.3" laptop with a dual-core CPU. I had been happy with it, and was expecting to use it forever, and not having to replace it so soon. I strongly suspect that either the CPU or more likely the motherboard has gone bad. I have opened up and repaired a couple of laptops before, but am reluctant to fix this one. As I have no way of isolating the failure to either the CPU or motherboard, buying replacements for both would be nearly as expensive as getting a new laptop.
My requirements are simple. It must have a dual-core i3 CPU, 3 or 4GB of memory, a screen of 13.3" or 14", a built-in DVD, and a weight in the 4-lbs range or less. Oh, and it has to be $500 or less. If it weren't for price, one of the wonderful Sony Vaio's would make me very happy with the weight down in the 2-3 lbs. Toshiba also got some like that.
Found a suitable one on-line, and been seriously considering hitting the "buy" button. But I wonder if I can get a better deal by waiting a bit longer.
I guess I was the only one at work on Black Friday. Things in the office very pretty quiet and I could get a lot done without the constant interruptions.
I saw an article a few days ago saying black Friday was a good day to buy a car!I bought a truck. Dealership was a ghost town, since I guess all the shoppers were at MegaLoMart.
Yes, I got an F150. 4X4 XLT with sufficient goodies, including the ecoboost twin turbo V6. I expect I will have 800# of payload capacity once all the passengers and miscellaneous are subtracted from the max load on the door frame sticker. As the current trailer maxes out at 3300# and I don't expect to tow anything over 5000# give or take, thsi truck should do everything I want it to.
After driving an elderly 4 banger with a lot of wear on around here, I find I have to feather the gas pedal to avoid peeling out all the time.
See if my pic attaches:
Maybe (but I don't know how one can be sure about virus infection)...Buy an ipad2, lightweight, oh yeah, quick, yup, 10 hour battery life, instant start up, unlike a windows machine and NO virus threats or anti virus software needed.

Comments from your neighbors of "thanks for putting the pressure on the rest of us, wife already asking when ours are going up?" Priceless.
