My new Laptop was delivered this morning.
OldBear was right on when he said it was coming today.
The only problem is I am at work and the Laptop is at home. :frown:
It's 10am now and by the time I get home from work it will be 8pm.
What am I going to do? I can't leave.

I will not give you the keys to my wife's car.
It would result in my untimely death.
And I wouldn't have had enough time to play with my new Laptop.

My schtuff came too, woo-hoo!!! :smile:

But one box is a little smooshed (I think the one with the HDD) and the tape on the case box is blue and has been sliced on one end. The box itself looks like it has been sittin' in the back of someone's car for one-too-many days.

:frown:

Oh well . . . if it all works, that's what matters most.

Gonna go home and check it alllllll out.

Cell phone, web site, camera, streaming video and we could have Toms porn forum.

Place a fan on one of the sides blowing towards your keyboard to cool your fingers when typing fast, if you use a 120mm 4k rpm fan you will hear it. And maybe your laptop will fly away.

I recommend a 60mm 7k rpm fan for max noise effects.
