very prescient or very annoying.
Saturday, after much considering and agonizing, I went to CDW and bought a B-stock ThinkPad X41 tablet. In fact, I'm using it right now to write (actually write) this post. This turned oat to be a very fortunate purchase gnu this afternoon my desktop started acting strangely and upon rebooting wouldn't go past the BIOS splash screen (no POST, no nothing). Normally, while I never wantons of my computers Hoedown, one isn't a big deal but my iMac has been in dire need of a clean system install for weeks now and isn't particularly functional. two machines down is a problem. The iMac just needs a full day of software reinstallation and massaging to be happy, so it will be up and running a day or so after I'm out of school. The PC, however, will probably need a few hours of diagnostics and a few hundred dollars in hardware to work. Not fun. At least I have this tablet to work on, otherwise I'd be stuck with my old Toshiba Portege laptop which is slow as hell.
