if its free, have at it. but you didn't address my points. FTW.

A) Already stated, but free..

B) It's a Centrino, so there was a lot of room for proc power. But the laptop was replacing an older LT and was and still is the fastest computer in my house.

C) I have never upgraded a desktop, short of memory. By the time I start the upgrade list, I seem to end up with a whole new computer.

Again, I can't lug the desktop with me. With all of my stuff on my laptop, I can pull up w/e I need wherever I need to.


Listen, the decision is made, I'm not arguing this....

One more thing. At this point in time, I plan on replacing my current laptop with another when the time comes. I don't see much of a use for a desktop anymore. But that's my opinion, yours differs and that's okay. :)

sorry, dave, this is WEAK.

LOL! also weak. spend your money. its yours.

Dude, everyones computing needs are different, chillax.....

Sorry YOU find it WEAK. But, it's how it is. I have no interest in sitting in a small office all day and night. I prefer the living room. It's not conducive to having a full desktop down here. I live on my laptop for work and play, it's just that simple and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. :)

are you worked up?

perfect tool for your job, then.

Worked up? Not in the least.


Just confused as to when you became highstrung?

If I were to look at this from a neutral angle, yes, I would agree that a Desktop is far superior to a laptop in almost every way.

Yes, for me, the laptop is the perfect tool for my job (and play).

I play 0 games, so the latest and greatest vid cards are not needed. I mentioned a bigger screen, there is one other issue, but it is with this laptop and something I did not know was going to be an issue. Since it has a built in Intel graphics chip, it can't be calibrated easily and I can't use one of those Spyder units. I have issues with color calibration and Photoshop. So in this case, a desktop would allow for an vid card upgrade. Color has been sorted out now, but now that I know that limitation, the next laptop will have a better card.

Can't we all just get along?

what makes you think i am highstrung?

You usually aren't. Just got a little bit defensive when dave and I casually said desktops weren't our thing. I had one, I didn't like it.


Like I said, can't we all just get along?

defensive? how so?

Where's piccard?



I'm off to bed, you guys have fun. I can't take it any more.....

Morning guys

Nope, the linux lappys are the ones I use for d-loading. This one is windows vista 64 bit.
I just don't like mac stuff and whine about any issues I ever have with them.
Different strokes.
If it werent for my ipod I would never load any mac stuff.
I have lots more problems than just linux. :D
