    Haha after my 3rd crash I wrote everything down that was useful. xD

    Yeahh. Firefox is good. :]

    the new IE7 is spiffy...But Firefox is still like 10 times faster. biggrin.gif

    And it's crazy that Microsoft didn't release tabbed browsing until now.

    THey're wayy behind.

    Today I saw that Bill Gates is donating 46 million dollars to like...prevent diarrhea or something. xDD

    Hmmm.

    If I had to pay for all my stuff...

    I'd have to pay well over 4000 dollars just for the stuff I have on my iPod. D:

    Wow niceee.

    I really need to get another hard drive because when the laptop crashed..
    .
    Y'know. iTunes gets wiped out and so do all the files. sad.gif

    And I really don't want to synch my iPod and the laptop.

    Mainly because there's not enough room on the laptop. biggrin.gif

    go get apple. don get dell. their parts are not good and they cost expensive too. DOnt believe, go check the newspapers and you can see all sorts of advertisements of dell trying to promote and giving 'discounts' on their products. But its too overpriced.

    Not true. I've been using limewire ever since and i haven't gotten big guys in suits come to my door to beat me up yet.

    They only go after the major illegal downloaders. The makers of limewire are forced to submit ip adresses of all downloaders and what they downloaded to the -whover cares about illegal downloading- place as of a few months ago?

    imo, you should either get Asus for best price/performance, or get a inspiron 6400 or 9400.... amazing specs for price

    Hook your iPod up to your laptop and download a program that will rip the songs off of your iPod.

    I'd go with the Inspiron over the Asus because I have never heard of Asus before. xD

    Either that or I'm just uneducated. sad.gif
