Thanks your help Le Nubian and ND.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

I have had my dell (Inspiron 700m) for at least two years, and it's been quite reliable. ::crosses fingers::

My issues with Dells have all been due to lack of compatibility. They use a lot of non standard motherboards and the like and they've screwed me more than once when trying to add things like a new video card or new audio cards to machines. Chances are most folks don't have those issues.

Anyone know if you can make an Amazon wish list address hidden?

Hey. New board.
There's a setting to make them private. When you make a new one, it's private by default. I don't really know exactly how to do it, but poke around.

gloom, gris is right. just poke around. I did it months ago and it wasn't that difficult. it is probably in the wishlists menu.

Hey. New board.
Actually, I just went and looked, and I have a big button on the left that says "Make this list private."

But doesn't that make the list not viewable? I want the list viewable, just not the address.

Thrive to spite them
Last night I went back over to Best Buy to look at laptops some more and maybe ask a couple of questions. And I ended up buying a laptop from the Office Depot next door.
I got this one -- [link]
Except I got an additional $50 off the price. No one at Best Buy acknowledged me, even though I was typing on the laptops (to see how I liked them) and checking the weight. They didn't acknowledge me when I was in there earlier yesterday or when I was there on Friday. Best Buy had that one (well an almost identical one) computer and another for $699 out the door, and I had questions, but couldn't find someone to ask so I went to Office Depot to look at what they had, and someone said hello and I looked at the laptops. They had the same thing (or what looked like the exact same thing) but with a rebate. I asked if they would match the price at the register and the assistant manager discovered the model numbers were different so they wouldn't match the price, all he could do was $50 off or the rebates.
I told him that I was going to buy it at Office Depot anyway, I just was hoping to avoid the rebate hassle and so he said "in that case I'll give you $50 off and the rebates."
And I bought a router, but when I got to the car I realized that it was the more expensive one and so I have to take it back and exchange it, so I couldn't get online with my laptop last night.
I really like it, I watched some vids on it and part of a dvd and it looked really nice and I liked the keyboard.
Although I'm not one to name my gadgets or cars I decided to call my laptop McKay.
