I'm thinking about getting a new laptop...

The one I have right now is the Inspiron 300m...

And it's kinda lame. xD It's really slow. @___@ And loaded with viruses.

I was thinking about getting an Apple laptop... But then I thought I should wait until Windows Vista comes out.

Suggestions? I have to admit though. The Apple laptops look really sweet. biggrin.gif

Alienware? Aren't those mainly for gaming though? 1we8.gif

Haha plus I think they kinda look weird.

The new Dell ones...I can't remember what they're called. x_x I swear I had them in my head.

Anyways. The ones with the huge grills on the cover... Those look nice. 1we8.gif

Lol...I don't really game -that- much. A little bit. I just really surf the internet...Plus music and graphics editing programs off to the side. My current laptop only has like 30 gigs. Less than my iPod...Which is sad. xD

Edit: Accidentally quoted myself. x_x

hold select and menu untill the apple logo comes up then hold select and play untill you get the disk mode check mark. If it loads up like normal then you didn't press select and play soon enough.

I'll try it sometime later. xD I don't feel like getting my iPod out right. And plus I only have like 3 gigs of free space on there. @@

Hurray for pirated movies. biggrin.gif

Select is the little middle button right?

That's kinda true. @@

I mean. I could never fit more than 2000 songs on my iPod.

I don't even know that many. xD

Most of my memory is taken up by videos and movies.

I have a 30 gig external hard drive...

But it's mainly as a backup. xD

Incase my computer dies...Again.

It's already died 4 times already. @____@

Which is why I want a new laptop. biggrin.gif

Yeahh. I hate having to redownload and install all my programs again.

And it takes forever for me. sad.gif

Because I have like PSPX and Photoshop and all those programs.

And plus the Microsoft programs like WMP11 takes forever to install. sad.gif

It's really annoying.

I remember I was trying to download updates for my computer...It took fregging 20 minutes for Microsoft just to find compatible updates. @______@

Seriously. it was freaky.

Haha smart. I saw a way to make like a 1.2 terrabyte server...

And just send stuff to it. @___@ It looked cool. Except I didn't feel like making it. xD

Waitt...So you lug the harddrive around? blink.gif;

How big is your 80 gig one?

Because I know my 30 gig one isn't that big. It's like the size of a really old gameboy...
