Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Can you guys help me make a call? I want to get the cheapest laptop possible. Each of these is $300:

- Compaq - Presario Laptop / AMD V-Series Processor / 15.6" Display / 2GB Memory / 250GB Hard Drive - available today

- Toshiba - Satellite Laptop / IntelĀ® CeleronĀ® Processor / 15.6" Display / 3GB Memory / 250GB Hard Drive - not available til next week

I think the Toshiba is objectively better, because of the memory, right? But I want it NOW! t /Veruca Salt

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The Toshiba has a better chance of sucking less than the Compaq.

Ha! The Compaq is basically what I have now (from 3 years ago), and I am pretty comfortable with its level of sucking.

OK, fine, I got the Toshiba. Done!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ha. I totally agree with Tom. The Toshiba is better.

Does anyone have an iphone 4 and willing to download "Find my iphone" (it's an apple app) and sign in for me to find my phone??

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I got one. What can I do to help?

can't you log into me(dot)com and click "find my phone"? and do it via web?

Never mind--amych tried to help, but I apparently don't have mine set up right--I was hoping to find it if it's lost/stolen and make it make noise, etc.
