All I know is Alienware is awesome. Other than that I can't help you. I don't even know why yet.

Vista may be a good OS, but I'm waiting for full backwards compatibility before switching. I'm tired of having problems connecting to old printers and new LANs, and that's just from the XP switch.
When VT forces me to get Vista, I will, until then, I'll stick to a system where I can access the Documents and Settings without hacking into the computer.

Also, XP installation disks are currently running for what? $100? $200?... It's usually a high price.

The AP Stat exam was easier than the practice ones we took... That's a bit concerning. The curve is going to be a killer one then. AP Lit tomorrow.

Heso! I'll be taking the AP Lit Exam tomorrow, too. Hey, that'll be fun... after three days, I can talk about it and you'll actually know what I'm talking about!

God, last year's AP "Language and Composition"... The first essay was about why or why not the penny should be removed from use. It was... pretty ridiculous. Multiple choice was easy though.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Wow, havn' posted here since.. my last post. But I've looked at this thread more times than that.

Does that make me kind of a lurker?

So anyway. Went to the Comedy Festival roadshow last night OMGAWESOME~ I got photos and hugs with all the comedians that were there^^ I have a t-shirt and a CD.

The CD is of The Axis of Awesome. And they certainly are awesome.

I think I read this thread ten times more often than I post, Astral, so you're not alone.

Konnichiwa. Fairy Tail is a pretty good manga. All-nighters are not good for you. That's all I have to say, because I shall now go nap to recover from my latest one. @.@

Hi! This is one of those days where I just keep getting more and more things to do piling up... I almost have to wonder if the first month or two of skill will be more relaxing than my vacation...
I'm reading Mistborn though, which is awesome. As is Castlevania Order of Ecclesia, which I'm playing (well, not today, but when I have time).

Now it's time for: Josiah's Computer Advice
Alienware makes good systems, particularily if you're a really serious gamer, but they're extremely expensive.
If anyone has specific issues with Vista, feel free to ask me for help.

Hey.

Arg....kinda pissed off right now. Me and my hockey team (well most of us) are doing a walk for cancer, and we had to fundraise $100. Now, being the lazy butt I am, I TOTALLY forgot about that until like a week ago. I asked her when the money was due, and she said the 16th, but it was really the 6th. So, now we owe them $100 bucks. My dad's gonna prolly make that come from MY pocket. Now that I just bought a laptop, I ESPECIALLY can't afford that 100 dollars. Dang it....

Wow. I just reading Kevin and Kell after at least three weeks. That was one of the longest archive binge I've ever had. Let's put this in perspective here. Kevin and Kell is one of the oldest, if the the first, webcomics ever. It has started in September 3rd, 1995, and has about 4871 strips.

I have a lot of free time on my hands now and I don't know what to do with it.

By the way, I call dibs on this in Webcomic of the week club.

I had an extremely good first half of the week. Then it started sucking.

I... asked a girl out to the staff-student hockey game. And she said yes! The only problem there is that a jealous guy named Joel decided that he wouldn't let me go out with her, and he told me that, confronted me, and beat me. I really didn't care, because I would still go with her. Joel goes up to her and says "Jason stalks you." It all went downhill by then. Let's say that I'm just going with my friends. >,># In my rant I said that I didn't want to go out with anyone. Things can change in a few days.

My electronics! My TV, my Wii, my Compy - all of them are DEAD! Wii's system files are corrupt, and the Wii is being fixed. Compy has no internet, and we have no cable. No Hockey Games. I go to school not knowing if Pittsburgh won!

Posting from public library - biked there now that the weather is decent. *sighs*

Urg...if I cut back on the specs that I want I can get an Alienware laptop for $1900 Canadian, but that's still really pricy...
That really sucks Saber and Cheez, I hope everything works out for you two.

Aw, Cheez. :( You don't seem to have the greatest luck.

On the hockey bit, I was watching the hockey games yesterday. Not sure how the Pittsburgh game turned out, but I know the Bruins lost in overtime :(.

*looks it up* Pittsburgh won in overtime. Wut up with the over times?

I'd like to say more, but I'll be late to school. Ta!

Ah, school computers. In my opinion, they're the only place where you would ever want to ALT-F4. So a quick question for any computer folk here, Dell has failed me and Alienware will make my wallet bleed. Which brands are good, but not $2K for a laptop good?
