But it is better than $1000 for a new computer and having to deal with windows 8.

While i was at best buy I did get a nice stereo system for my apartment another $150.

Today I found out that the cause of the misfire in the 911 was the mfi pump which appears will need a $2500 refresh. Might as well do the throttle bodies while the car is out of action, since they really need it. Probably another $1000-$1500 there I would guess.

That's all for now. This nexus thing is OK for checking email but the screen is tiny and the touch screen and lack of keyboard is rather irritating after a while.

Hang on a minute?

Your supposed to be blessed with 'the knack', yes?

What the hell are you paying someone else that thinks they have 'the knack' to do something that your knack can do already?
