Looks like I'm gonna be busy on the PS2 for a while.

Primary usage will be foobar 2k and firefox.

And because this is headcase, I actually do need to include the obligatory line...

how much did the HP run you?

well with "estimated tax" it comes to $786.45...

..but they will charge whatever the real tax is at time of shipping. The expected ship date is 5/3/08.

They do have cheaper models, but this one just seemed best for me.

Fedex shipping was free btw.

Vista on a Via processor

I know, I know....

That is the one thing that made me mull over it for so long. I almost said 'screw it' and bought a thinkpad. But then I decided I really would appreciate something small on occasion.

But I have XP discs ready willing and able in my basement, plus at least in the office, once the system boots up, all it will be doing is playing music all day, and on Foobar. I came to the realization that even with a cruddy processor, it will still be more than enough.

Plus I'll be using external hard drives for the tunes too.

seems like these umpcs are the new thing

I love my UMPC to bits, goes with me everywhere and is my daily use computer. Aside from taxing games, there's nothing it can't and doesn't do.

Vista on a Via processor

I have been running Debian on Via for the last 6 years on my home server (recently upgraded to low power C7). Pure gold.

(3x) Slappa 160 CD Case (d2i)

(2x) Slappa d3i CD Pages

I gave up on trying to compress the space of my anime DVD collection using multi-disc DVD cases, mostly because they looked like ass with handwritten labels instead of real artwork (looked like I had a shelf full of burned discs or sommat). Even though it's sold as a CD case, since I won't be storing any covers with it, Slappa's CD cases are much cheaper and more efficient than their DVD cases. I can store an entire season of a show on just 1 or 2 of the little "pages," easily rearrange them as I like, take a single page out to loan or watch at a friends' place, etc. It's like the ultimate storage solution for my DVDs, so why the hell did nobody ever tell me how good these Slappa cases were beyond normal CD storage?

Oh I've wanted to Slappa you on a couple occasions.

I've wanted to slappa myself on many occasions too.

the mighty mouse would be so much better if it was more durable. my scroll ball died in like 6 months. not to mention that bluetooth just eats batteries like they're candy.

I absolutely positively will not go back to wireless mice

I absolutely positively will not go back to wireless mice

I'm with you on that.

I'm not. The only time I use wired mice is when I'm on a public computer.

I use both - wired trackball for my iMac and wireless mouse (or the trackpad) for my MacBook.

Wireless mouse is the only option for the living room mini mac. With rechargeable batteries it is a little less annoying. For anything else I prefer wired.

What I really want is for Kensington to re-release the wireless version of their Expert Mouse.

Is it really a mouse if it has no tail?

you really like those trackballs huh

Absolutely! Just think how that farmer's wife cut off the tails of those poor blind mice with a carving knife. They didn't go and change the last verse of the song to three blind non-mice, now did they. Geez, ya gotta think about these things before posting silly questions.

A case of Wedell Pinot, so much for my promise to go cold turkey.
