I've used a few Acer laptops that have been pretty nice. I would stay away from the Sony ones though as the screen is on the flimsy side of things. Apple laptops are overpriced. Maybe check out some Toshibas also, my co-worker has one and loves it.

+1 on building a desktop though can always make one far superior to a pre-built PC.

Work hard, play hard. I thought about going to the gym before my long shift but i would be stupid haha.

Update on my situation, it was actually a 13.5 hour shift and right now i am going to go eat and sleep and pray that i can feel my legs the next day. Peace!

Get a Lenovo, I've abused mine for 2 years and it's running strong still...

it was 800 bucks, but I ordered one with blu-ray, and a good GPU for gaming...

Get a Thinkpad (probably one of the T series). They're solidly built, have a good battery life, and run really nice and cool. They're the best laptops on the market right now for general use, in my opinion.

So, I posted on a Z forum asking what they thought about a panoramic glass roof on a 240z and the response has been surprisingly positive. I looked around before posting and the general consensus for moon/sunroofs seems to be hatred. But a full, fixed glass roof? They like that idea.

Many "professionals" (both on this forum and others) have to to not only learn how to properly run a business, but also need to learn how to not act like children on the internet...

I am not sure if uggs are actually a fashion statement or if they are properly functional. Care to comment? Just general inquiry really lol

Uggs are insanely ugly. Poor sheep had to die for those monstrosities.

Hahaha poor cat.

I'm still delusional from this week. Mon-thurs my normal 12 hour shifts.. Thurs worked walmart for "black Friday" after work. That was.... Interesting....
Yesterday worked overtime that went into more overtime.

Sadly, I still won't make much money not even by working thanksgiving. All I get is a comp day.
