No worries Chris. Family comes first as I am well aware. So now that we are a day away, is everyone's arrival time still the same? I still plan to arrive around 7.

Yeah, all the IT guys I know hated and continue to hate Vista with a religious fervor.

Borrrrrrrrrring!

Actually I am still running an old slow laptop for a few legacy programs at home. It came with Vista, never had a problem with Vista, still running Vista. Probably the most stable Win machine I ever owned. I realize this experience is way out in the tail, but there you have it. Oh and I agree with Larry. Boot camp for me is not a real option on the MBA. I use it so much and I hate rebooting it since the sleep mode works so well. Parallels caused lots of beach balls and freezes on the MBA, so it was just too annoying.

Yeah, and to be fair, my MBA is from the last non-thunderbolt generation.

You can never have too many weapons for fighting zombies. Ask Jeff. Well let's see. I could use them as projectiles in my blunderbuss, or affix them to a stick for a spear, or to an arrow shaft as a heavy duty projectile or ... I like the way you think.

Actually, I tried it with parallels and did not like the results at all. Parallels works great on my Mac Pro at work.

But the sharp spiky feet will be much more useful when the zombie apocalypse arrives.

Not really an ultra book, but pretty small. I needed something to run Excel 2010 and SAS so I got the cheapest Acer Aspire One 722 I could find. Ripped out the HD and memory stick and dropped in a Crucial SSD and an 8Gb memory stick. It runs Win 7 64 bit like a champ and I have had nary a glitch in about 6 months now. Slightly thicker and heavier than my MBA but not any wider or deeper and a whole hell of a lot cheaper.

Well, it was not red.

Will probably have to wait until Friday so I can get in there when there is some light. It is the BHSE that Justin had at CanJam Chicago.

Mine has a black front with a grey volume knob, tube rings and feet.

I just checked my old HTC phone and the Android app looks pretty much the same to me.

I'm liking the new ESPN FFL app for the iPad.

Changed the pads on my PX-200.

That sounds awesome Mike, Debbie, Bryan and Allison. Good times, good times.

OK, so they do not take reservations. I will be there at 7 and will try to get a table for 7 or 8 folks.

I am also intrigued by this new DAC. However, I am also a pretty big fan of the Emotiva, both from an SQ and build quality perspective. Haven't heard the Schitt, so no comment there.

Hope you remembered your rain parka Colin. Just upgraded my Acer Aspire One to 8Gb Ram.

^^^ This.

Happy 50th youngster!

Now you're one of the cool kids

Cool Beans!

Thanks Dust Man!

That sounds cool Bryan. I will be taking the Metra from our hotel downtown so I think 7 pm sounds good for me. I don't know if they take reservations so I will check on that.
