Moving this Friday

[cigar no baka]

I will be moving this Friday, not very far at all from where I live now. But utilities will hopefully be on at my new location on Friday, but just in case, I may not be on for a while. I sure hope my closings on Thursday (present house) and Friday (new house) all go smooth as silk or we're up shit creek. Needless to say I am moving the important stuff myself - all electronics and my cigars, and god help the movers if they break any of the other stuff!!

Good luck on the move...I know how much of a pain they are even if they are just down the street.

Good Luck! Make sure you mark the boxes and what room they go in it will save you a lot of time in the end.

God I hate moving...

Good Luck on Yours!!

Well the movers will be here shortly and then our PC's will be offline. Hopefully will have time to come online again starting Monday, see you all then, happy smoking to you all!!!

Well, both closings went ok on Thursday and Friday, and we spent almost all of our time Friday, Saturday and Sunday moving. I hadda go to work Sunday, huge travel show we run every year about this time, and my boss cut me no slack for the move. Didn't have a cigar since Friday, so went almost three days without until I had a VS Bohemian tonight. Love this new house dammit, got a great covered porch in back and one out front that are perfect for smoking away while enjoying a nice beverage and a book.

Plus now that we are moved, and our mortgage payment is cut 40%, I can get a new PC this March. Thinking about buying a Dell wireless laptop, can't friggen wait.

Check with consumers report before buying a laptop. Dell is at the bottom of the pile when it comes to laptops. Just my 2 cents. Congrats again on the house!

Don't get me started on Consumer Reports...

Last year I picked up their annual car guide, just for shits and giggles. They didn't have the car I was looking for in it, so I read the review for my gf's Saturn Ion. They gave it awful reviews, specifically saying it was loud and underpowered. I really don't see how 140bhp in a car the size of a shoebox could be considered underpowered, but eh, they didn't like it.

A couple days later I thought I'd check out the reviews on the Chevy Cobalt. They couldn't say enough about that car! It was quiet, powerful... er, did I miss something? The 2.2L Ecotec in the Saturn was loud and underpowered, but the SAME engine in the Chevy body was quiet and powerful?

When I told a friend of mine this story, he said he saw the same problem with Scion and Toyota.

I've found they have a huge brand name bias in electronics, as well, but nothing as blatant.

I have the Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop with a wireless connection. This has been a very reliable and powerful machine. It is a bit heavy, but what do you expect for a 17 inch monitor...

I'll definitely check out the consumer feedback on Dell laptops but I know two people who have one and they love theirs. I like the big keyboard and big screen, I know it is going to be heavy but I have big hands and big fingers so I need a big keyboard.
