A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Trust my rage

Thanks, ND. I finally managed to find a guy who new what he was talking about, but I think it got me a total of 2% off on the iPad I was buying. I hopefully won't need another laptop for a while, but thanks for the suggestions.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a free QR code generator?

Hey. New board.

ita !, today's woot.com deal is a refurbished 16GB Toshiba Thrive for 279.99.

I might buy one. I like them because they have lots of ports. Heavier than Tabs, etc, but hey, good price!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks for that heads up, Gris. I just had to replace my phone, so I don't know if I'll be jumping on this today. But it does seem appealling...

Hey. New board.

I decided against it, just because the customization scene seems really weak for the Thrive - doesn't look like CM9 will be available, for example. The Asus Transformer refurbished is available on newegg.com for $329.99 and may be a better bet.

Thanks again, Gris. I ended up getting one for my sister (more tech to configure, why do I do this?), and then one of her friends wanted me to get one for her too. Android, booyah! They don't need rooting or custom ROMs.

What case do you have for your Thrive, dcp?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I chose this one: [link]

The Thrive is bulky enough already, so I was looking for the thinnest case I could find. My only complaint was that there's no catch to hold the cover closed. I fixed that with a couple of small pieces of Velcro.
