Great deal on the computator dude. I agree -- extended warranty = you minus $$ for nothing and them + $$ from suckers. As for antivirus software, get rid of Norton and McAfee. Download avg for free at avgfree.com and ad-aware at adaware.com. Both free. AVG updates for free as well. Best anti-virus software and anti-spyware software out there that I have seen thus far.

I was surprised how much prices for laptops had come down in the last few years. I remember that Vaios used to be well over 1000.00 dollars.

You have done well young Jedi.

Got your PM...good job on remembering AVG Antivirus. (Like I said, I like free. I feel good about free. Free is a happy word.)

I also like your upgrades there. Considering the features, its not a bad choice spending the extra $$. I'll be standing buy for support calls. Just holler if u need something.

(Can't be as bad as the field call I went on when I worked for the state. Drove 120 miles to discover the office manager had plugged the server's surge protector into itself rather into the wall.)

Enjoy the 'puter! Looking forward to many Peeps updates!

BTW - PM'd you the other program I told you about...Underdog mentioed it above. Ad Aware by Lava Soft

I am downloading it now. It's showing an hour to download.

I promise not to do a plug-in brain fart.

Thanks again for all your help.

Jordy!!! I'm so glad your back!!! I'm happy to see that you had a good time and you felt it went well. I'm anxious to hear all about it, and I love the picture.
I'm so proud to see men stepping up to the plate when it comes to faith...it's usually the women who do this, and as much as I love seeing the women who do this, I'm always more moved by the men who hear the calling on their hearts and move on it. Kudos to you hearing the Lord press on your heart to co-labor with Him for the Kingdom.

Did you have a great Christmas? Please tell me you got some good rest and then had a wonderful Christmas with your family.

Thanks for the kind words. I'll be talking about the retreat in an upcoming update with pix too.

I did have a good Christmas, but you know I didn't receive many gifts this year-none from family. I am not complaining-merely an observation.

Congrats on the new laptop. I shouldn't have read that update , my laptop is old and has been used to make too many banners, avatars, etc, I need a new one too .

 

[jordanyosh]

I wanted to apologize to everyone for not posting my MHPC tally.
I think I let the holiday's get away with me and forgot to post the total of how many I actually commandeered.
I appreciate everyone who was sweet enough to guess, and then put up with me letting you hang in the breeze until I got my poop in a group.

OK the moment you've been waiting for.

Drum roll please.........772!

Dan, I was wondering with your new add's, what number did you end up with?
Is it sad that we counted them?? Whaaa?

772. Holy cow!

I'm still in the 20's, but I guess there's also no rush now...

Love the new laptop!

I am enjoying it

Still in the process of adding virus protecting. Creating recovery discs. Adding Office Software.

I almost bought a Kindle on Monday because I was bored at work.....thank goodness I thought better of it. I need that $$ for my trip.

The new laptop looks really snazzy! I expect loads of updates.

If I bought something every time I was bored at work...oh wait, I don't have time to be bored..

Love the new laptop and as Leslie said! I expect many updates!!!! Can't wait to hear more...glad the holiday season at the church went well!!

I think there will be updates tonight if I can get my act together.

Nice looking new laptop, Jordan!!! Will you be taking that new laptop to Disney to update live? Maybe...

Perhaps. I haven't given it much thought.

Woohoo for a new laptop..give me a call next time you get tired and feel the need to spend $$$ Seriously though, glad everything went well with the retreat, and glad to see you back

You'll be the first one I call If I can lift my head off my desk.

Great laptop Jordan! May it always behave for you! Next time i need some laptop advice, I'll know who to call!

Make sure you PM Great Biscuit. He's the pro fo sho.

i am embarrased to say it was only 387

387. Not too shabby. more than Glennbo who has more than me...

Congrats on the new laptop Jordy!

Thanks Glenn!

Congrats on the new laptop!!

I hope it doesn't put too much of a cramp on your WDW budget. But having a new computer is N-I-C-E!!

I got a new printer the other day with a gift card from Christmas. My printer/scanner was so old that it wouldn't even suck the paper up to print on anymore.

I love the laptop. I like the keyboard. It's more like a Mac keyboard....

We got a new printer a few months ago. I like it because we can print remotely.

I keep forgetting to tell you my father makes frequent trips to Home Depot (he is retired and is always fixing something somewhere.) He always brings back MHPC for me! Lime green as well as all the others!
How interesting that you just got a new laptop! I was going back and forth between an SLR or a laptop. I really need the laptop but I really want the camera. I think the laptop is going to win because I have 3 digital cameras. My laptop is at least 6 years old and is soooo slow and I have had the blue screen of death twice. It's only a matter of time!

Tracy

Decisions, decisions. Not a bad choice either way. I do have to say I LOVE the laptop...

Maybe I will muster up the courage to actually SPEAK to a fellow Diser this trip! Probably not when Dad is around though, he already thinks all of this planning ahead is very strange. He has not been for 15 years and when we went we packed our lunches into the park. I can't wait to introduce him to Disney dining!

If someone has a Lime Green Mickey Head visible, they probably won't mind being approached. I'll be wearing the neon sign saying "Peeps--show the power fist"

Oh good, I was worried that GB was speaking in code or I'd missed a whole 'nother series of posts as I didn't have a clue what he was referring to before you posted this update!

Very cool on the laptop!! Love the reasoning too, DIS updates!

I have to admit, extended warranties have saved my bacon twice as I don't have a GB at my disposal and geekiness aside, I can't really fix them myself (or am too scared to?) but GREAT info on the antivirus, really wish we'd done that. So maybe I am a sucker but given that I've had my motherboard replaced twice in 2 years plus the video card and memory, it seems to have paid for itself.

I must say that I may still get the warranty...I have heard a few stories about the battery so....

 

[jordanyosh]

So, maybe its more like 60? It wants to retire, but I told it it has to continue working until it can collect social security.

Yay for a new laptop- I also use the free virus stuff-has caught a bunch of nasty stuff for me. Can't wait to see/read all the updates!

That's good to know. I'm glad I chose wisely.

iknow i shame myself.

Blue, I was thinking the same thing.

 

[jordanyosh]

I drive past 2 home depots on the way to work everyday. Does that count for anything?

If only life were like a video game and every time you passed the Home Depots it would just pick up Mickey Heads like ammo...

Let me know how you like it! We are looking for a new Laptop ourselves!

It's nice--so far.

Love the new laptop!

Glad the extra craziness of the holidays is over for you & you can get back to the regular day to day craziness.

It's not as heavy as older models either. It would make it nice for traveling.

Jordan I am sooo jealous !!! I ned a new laptopor this one fixed !! Philwill doit for me ,but I never have the time to get over to his house when we are both free !! I think I will give it to him just before the trip than hopefully it will be fixed by the time I get back !! I have been fighting this broken keyboard for months !!So it needs fixing or I need a new laptop!!!

If all you do is go online, a netbook might be the way to go--cheaper and smaller.

 

[jordanyosh]

Newbie here to the post.

Jordon, I saw your TR title "The Hot, Sweaty Asian Strikes Back"... and was wondering who in the world wrote a TR about my husband? Well actually his would be The Hot, Sweaty 1/2 Asian That Everyone thinks is Italian or Hispanic instead of Asian Strikes Back.

Love your TR's and can't wait for the Feb one. We'll be there too and be sure to point any hot babes your way.

Thanks. Can you send the drunks over too so I can get a few good stories and maybe a picture or two.

Congrats on the new laptop. I shouldn't have read that update , my laptop is old and has been used to make too many banners, avatars, etc, I need a new one too .

I wasn't EVEN looking for one which is so weird. I mean it wasn't even on my radar and I just thought..hey, we need a new laptop. BAM--a few hours later, a new laptop.

What's a Netbook!!!!?????

 

[jordanyosh]

What's a Netbook!!!!?????

It's a smaller version of a laptop, but it's really just for web browsing and doing emails etc. It doesn't have full computer capabilities.

Here's a link

And I suppose you wouldn't mind if the hotties and the drunks happen to be the same people. (j/k, sort of)

I replied to this earlier but dont know what happened to it.

As I was saying..... that's what I got... a wireless printer. I love that thing!! It sits in the living room so i went to my bedroom and sat on my bed and printed a bunch of stuff out because it was just cool to do. Yes, I'm a nerd.

The remote printing is the BEST.

Well, I'm done stalking you from thread to thread now! I gotta hit the hay. Night Peeps!
