Happy First Laptop Brendon!

Lol. My little brother just got his first laptop. A Gateway netbook. He loves it. I hear family guy playing right now. (*checks router*) yup, hulu.

I just got $150. That combined with my current funds = http://www.google.com/products/cata...og_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CDAQ8wIwAA#

Merry (almost) Christmas, geeks!

 

In Sweden it is Christmas when the 24th starts, since that's when we celebrate. The Guy and I honor that tradition by doing our stockings on Christmas Eve every year.

*lifts glass with Cranberry martini made from stocking-mix* Happy Christmas! :wine

 

WOO! I opened my presents this morning. An xbox 360(250GB!) and Kinect, and a recipt for that drum set, which I pick up tomorrow! What a wonderful replacement to the piece of crap I have now.

 

And will end it in style... The Guy gave me a wireless 360 controller for PC (any game "for Windows" supports them), and from his parents I got the entire Blackadder Ultimate Edition--every season, every special, and tons of extra material! Awesomeness! :-D

 

Watcha like Zack? I like a few drummers. Nice to see your bro' got a laptop, no one ever did that for me for some reason.:cry:-D

Enjoy it Brendon and use it well!

 

I'm going to make him sign up on MG.

And I'm into death metal/punk.

 

OK Zack, you teach me in the WAYLT thread. I've always wondered what 'Death Metal' was? I guess I could always google it eh?

 

If you do, just look up the following bands:

Possessed
Arcoisolium
Twilight's Embrace
Mistweaver

:guitar:guitar

 

Ya, the music is good but someone ripping their vocal chords out ain't. I do like Twilight's Embrace. The 'Growl' sucks all the musicality out of this Mims. I'm sorry hun as I can't get past it. Maybe next year.:cool

 

Here's my first laptop Zack,128k memory 3.5 mhz cpu,9 colour output.When I was about Eight I wanted this computer so bad it hurt and I nearly died when I opened my Chistmas presents in 88'.

Unfortunately LCD's and LIPO batteries would only be invented over ten years later so it had to be connected to a TV and the mains.:-D

Hope Brendon loves it as much as I loved mine.

P.S I still have it boxed up ontop of my wardrobe 23 years later,I wonder if Brendon can boast that in 23 years.:cool

 

You know you only get to brag if it still runs, right?

 

I'll try it actually,be interesting to see a 24 year old computer connected to a HD flatscreen TV :-D

 

You going to do some soldering mods to a cable Rikky?:-D

 

Its only output is an RF,if I plug it and autotune the TV it should find it,I'm not sure if I can manually tune the TV's to an RF signal as everything is digital.

 

Pictures! We demand pictures!

 

I'll dig it out,fire up jet set willy.:-D
