How I feel when I have money to order new parts

Have you guys tried Chromebook? I have a Samsung Series 3 chromebook (ARM processor), cost $200, and it's awesome for regular applications (microsoft skydrive, chrome browser). It doesn't create much heat so it wont fry your lap and it weighs half of what regular laptops do. I can hook it into a tv with HDMI and use it to watch shows on crackle and youtube.

It's a great mobile solution if you have a phone that shares 4g over wifi to it, so you can take it anywhere pretty much, even in the rain because it's a cheap disposable laptop and you can replace it without having to worry about spending too much $$. Basically it's the laptop I use for reading while in the bathroom, but it's a good notebook for work too.

Edit: Also for those looking for the BEST screen available on a notebook, the Chromebook Pixel is supposed to be it: http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome...oks.html#pixel

It's not widescreen, but they're saying that it has the best color/brightness of any screen and it's super high res (2560x1700) and is also a glass screen with multi-touch. It uses an intel platform, so you can install Windows on it.

You know Microsoft though, just gotta follow the trend

Windows 95 =

Windows 98 =

Windows 2K =

Windows ME =

Windows XP =

Windows Vista =

Windows 7 =

Windows 8 = ??????

Well according to the trend I've noticed with windows OS's throughout my life I wasn't expecting much but we'll see, I haven't had much opportunity to play with 8 yet.

Windows 8 is fine I'm sure. It's got a stupid apps menu but I'm sure you can go straight to a regular desktop and use it just the same as windows 7 software.

My trends are:

Windows 95 = I could AOL and starcraft on a Mac.
Windows 98 =

Windows 2K =

Windows ME = switch to linux
Windows XP =

Windows Vista = switch to linux, again
Windows 7 =

Windows 8 = keep windows 7

My friend had the new Windows.... Jesus I kept thinking 'this must be how old people feel like when someone hands them a piece of technology'
Never again.. And she's a lot brighter than me... But even with our minds combined it was still confusing as shit

I'm almost positive that is a bad catalytic converter. Really strange for a new car. Do you know if it got replaced when your car got fixed?
