    I understand that the Onion is satire, but are the commie Chinese really so clueless? The guy on the horse does not look like would receive an award.

    Does the CPU have a rear-facing fan? If so, I prefer to have a rear case fan behind it to maintain the flow direction. You should also consider temperature- or CPU-load-controlled fans in some places to reduce total airflow when not needed.

    The link is broken. Is golfing really an issue in December? I think we could use some rain, albeit not all at the same time.

    I think DD uses them for some business activity, although it is different to distinguish the two in his situation.

    Windows 8

    I'm not sure that the 840 is really any faster, eoecuaooy small sizes. I have the 500GB 840 and at least one of each size of the 830. The 840 pro is the best, but a little pricey for my use as backup Patagonia storage.

    Surface with Windows 8/RT

    The Air is only 1500-2000 IIRC, which is hardly exorbitant considering that it can replace a laptop and tablet for many users.

    Have you tried the 5GHz band? Typically there are fewer users than at 2.4.

    Meh. Most likely only a few in the mountains or on the beach will get much of anything. I doubt there will be more than 25 corpses for the morgues.

    Should I wait until the holidays to buy a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop?

    Make sure to capture a base image if you don't have the full restore discs. My recent Lenovo only had a hidden backup partition.

    I need more drive space. What brand/drive is good these days?

    Well obviously something is not right. :cursin: I don't know why it keeps happening to me. :( It works when I use the 3rd party link, but on some forums they flame on you for doing so. Prehaps I should type the link UBB code manually as I did before the software was updated.

    Exactly. Meanwhile I spent all my money last week, so no more frivolous shopping.

    I need more drive space. What brand/drive is good these days?

    The retail 4GB Hitachi drives are $189 at the moment, so it is hardly worth destroying stuff and voiding a warranty.

    Seriously? Most of the holiday music is positive, harmless and relaxing. Would you prefer Hip Hop, heavy metals, or whatever loud music is in fashion these days?

    I wish I could help, but small and lightweight is not my thing. Even though I have limited mobility, I'd rather be slow and have the proper equipment. Macro work in particular requires as good tripod, lighting, reflectors, scrims, wind blockers etc. Maybe start with a D5200 and a 60 or 105...
