Caltrops - American McGee's Honda Civic





	[quote name="Moab"][quote name="Live Studio Audience"][quote name="Mischief Maker"]There's nothing like sitting there in your cap and gown, the band playing that graduation song, the dean making a thouroughly depressing speech about budget cuts, and savoring the sweet taste of victory. You've done it! You've passed the toughest microbiology classes given to Undergraduates (and a couple grad-level courses, too) and passed! All the lectures, badly written journal articles, nail-biting exams, they're all done! Then you get the notice you've still got some dipshit little math breadth requirement you still need to finish right as you're packing to leave the state. Long and short of it: I need to take an online course, and since my plans for the next year make lugging around a tower and monitor unfeasible, I must enter the murky and unknown (and as far as I know, unupgradeable) waters of laptop computers. Anyone here have suggestions about brands to avoid, accessories that suck, heat sinks that sterilize your gonads, etc? I'm not looking for a 133+ edgy top-of-the-line platform, just something that would run GTA3 decently. Especially for under $1000. <B>Mischief Maker</B>, Putting the "crap" in <B>Ca</B>lt<B>r</B>o<B>p</B>s since 2002[/quote] The Toshiba laptops are the best. The S255 model would probably be for you.[/quote] Toshiba's rock, I have a 5205 series Satellite that is the finest Laptop I've owned. Previously my co. had a deal with Compaq and I never had a complaint or problem with two presarios in four years, I know the guy that inherited my last one and it's still running strong (nothing breaking off or flaking out). <a href="http://www.shopping.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpdirect/shopping/scripts/product_detail/product_detail_view.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0841343386.1055192206@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccchadciiehjgidcfngcfkmdflldfgf.0&product_code=DC972A%23ABA&cat_level=2&browse_link=true">This</a> specs out pretty well and fits your budget. Since I don't have any experience with anything else and so I am not qualified to judge other brands, they are of course all shit. [/quote]
