The "Anything Goes " Thread.

Well, I splurged and spoiled myself with a new netbook. It's an Acer Aspire One AO756-2868 and I found it at a local department store (Kmart) for $340.00. I checked some prices online and it seemed like a great deal.

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Processor: Intel 877 Dual core
LCD: 11.6" HD LED lcd
Memory: 4GB DDR3
Storage: 320GB HDD
Card reader: 2-in-1 card reader (SD card)
WLAN: 802.11 b/g/n
Webcam: HD webcam
Battery: 4 cell LiIon

It can boot from USB stick. I've already installed a linux distro on an 8GB USB stick (via unetbootin) and it boots fine. I'll resize the main netbook partition later and dual-boot Windows and Linux. I've been using Linux as my sole OS for over a decade, the last Windows OS I used was Windows 98 SE. Windows 7 is quite different. Now I have a dependable iTunes installation

It may not be the best netbook on the market but I'm very happy with it.

I used an Aspire One to run a lighting rig, it never failed me and was a great little workhorse......and that's coming from an Apple fanboy!

Hey, that's good to hear. Hopefully this little netbook will last me a year.. long enough for me to save for a MacBook pro.

Those little netbooks are impressive for what they are. I got an asus netbook a year ago and it never failed me. I got a nice asus 15"laptop with a core i5 and 6gb of ram in November so I sold the netbook lol

Well, hey TLB....how's it going??

Do you have your thread going here?

I recently watched a couple episodes of The Big Bang Theory and got hooked on it.

The show is centered on five characters: roommates Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper, two physicists who work at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech); Penny, a waitress and aspiring actress who lives across the hall; and Leonard and Sheldon's equally geeky and socially awkward friends and co-workers aerospace engineer Howard Wolowitz and astrophysicist Rajesh Koothrappali. The geekiness and intellect of the four guys is contrasted for comic effect with Penny's social skills and common sense.

It sounds kinda "stuffy" at first, but it's really hilarious. Anyone else seen this?

Oh yes... The Big Bang Theory is a pretty hilarious show!! Somewhat redundant from episode to episode... but funny none the less.

Yep, it's one of those shows that makes me want to order full season DVD's from Amazon.. and that's rare for me.

I hold two doctorate degrees and I watch the show for the humor and the situations in which doctors can find themselves - they have a physicist on their writer staff.
