Words of wisdom from a combustable amphibian.

My Laptop

Posted Thursday, March 6th, 2008 at 5:45 am

Ordered a new laptop the other day. It hasn’t shipped yet, but this is what I’m getting:

  • Intel® Core 2 Duo T7250 (2.0GHz/800Mhz FSB/2MB cache)
  • 15.4 inch Wide Screen XGA LCD Display with TrueLife
  • 2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz, 2 DIMM
  • 128MB NVIDIA® GeForce 8400M GS
  • 160GB Free Fall Sensor Hard Drive, 7200RPM, for Dell Vostro 1500 Notebook
  • Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium
  • Integrated 10/100 Network Card and Modem
  • 24X CD Burner/DVD Combo Drive, with Roxio Creator
  • Wireless 1395 802.11g Wi-Fi Internal Card
  • Integrated 2.0 mega pixel Web Camera
  • 56 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
  • 2 Year ProSupport for End Users and 2 Year NBD On-site Service
  • Wireless 355 Bluetooth Internal (2.0 + Enhanced Data Rate), Vista

Writing has ground to a halt without access to a laptop. By the end of next week hopefully I can start cranking out carefully and lovingly crafting cranking out pages again.

DEll computers are awesome unless you need them to service it. I’d rather rip off my ears and poke out my eyes than do that again. 14+ weeks of Hell, fricking Indians who are the WORST in customer service in the ENTIRE WORLD. But…good luck with that.

Flametoad is the personal website for Preston DuBose, a full-time e-commerce and credit card security professional for the higher-education market, a part-time RPG publisher, and a full-time husband and father.

I ignore conventional blogging wisdom and refuse to focus on a single topic. This website covers gaming, family life, marketing, security, literature, music, and just about anything else shiny that catches my eye.

I get a small thrill every time someone bothers to respond to one of my posts. I get a big thrill when you post naked pictures of yourself. Well, not YOU.
