That should be able to be done for around $150-$200, right? What sort of improvements would I see by adding that?

T2300 @ 1.66 GHz - 512 MB RAM I'll be looking to upgrade it sometime. I don't understand how it really works, but I'd just like to spend a little bit of cash and have some components replaced/added to make it a little faster/more up to date. The battery life is a weak two hours which is unfortunate. From what I can remember, it has always ran a little warm.

Sometimes my laptop runs fairly warm. Do those external fans that sit in a case and are placed under the laptop work well? I think the problem is the fact that there are 42 processes running all the time.

Looks great!

The shop should be starting to pick up now ... may be enough to cover that?

I know how that goes. Six is bad enough - couldn't imagine 11.

I hear you. I buy wood glue by theail ... no Titebond or Gorilla stuff. The wood breaks before the joint, so I guess it does the trick . Sort of the point I guess I don't see the point in paying that kind of money for something with a fancy name and picture on the bottle.

Woot for shit kicking some drunk idiot who tried to choke my friend out.

Where are all the good boxing day deals in Canada? Like I need to spend any more money.

Every year when December rolls around the other half seems to think that there is all of a sudden more money to blow. I don't get it. I opened a few che(que)(ck)s, a package of Brita filters, and a sweater. Guess that shows my age.

It adds up real fast. I just placed a fairly large Poorboy's order a couple weeks ago

Nice truck

Well, I spent far too much on gifts again this year. Worth it though. The w wanted some anniversary ring so I printed a picture of it, threw it in a box, and wrapped it up. Should go over real well. Reality says our gift to us for the rest of our lives will be a new house in three or four years and me retiring at 35. Ha.

3> 5 in snow, but both need snowshoes. If I did happen to choose the 5 series, I'd need to be persuaded into getting the V8 (if appropriate). I quite like the I6, but if the V8 is the way to go, I need to start hearing it from more people.

Merry Christmas to you as well. More importantly, thank you for being a member of SSA and allowing us to host your message forum here.

There's a 21.6" LG on sale at FutureShop for $250. Seems like a good price.

Excellent. Thanks guys. Just tried it with my 20" monitor I have at home and it works perfect. I guess I'll have to keep an eye out and see if a nice widescreen goes on sale on Boxing Day.

The latter is what I want ... to be able to use one spreadsheet on one monitor and be able to drag another one or a different program onto the other monitor. It's a one year old Toshiba. Will I need software or some other chip installed, or is it pretty much plug and play?

Guess I'll have to look into it.

Can I run dual monitors with my laptop? I wouldn't mind getting a 22" widescreen to go beside my 17" screen as it makes things a lot easier when you have three or four lists of names and grades in Excel.

Well, I can cross the G35 sedan off my list. One just tried to make it up the hill by my house and failed three times. Really need to try both the 3 and 5 series in the snow.

Shit a new truck would almost be affordable if they didn't charge $7000 for the diesel engine.

I am about to turf Opera. It has locked up on me far too many times during the past couple days. Apparently it can't handle three or more tabs. Besides, it won't even load WebCT.

If I had half a day to do it myself, that time would probably be better spent relaxing or doing research

And yes, this is coming from a die-hard Chevrolet guy. Born and raised. But c'mon, even I know reality.
