You could go old school and find tons of games to play. The Fallout series is turn based for one, but may not be as casual as you want. And I'd also recommend Plants vs Zombies, which from personal experience is playable without a mouse.

Ya, it looks as if the US has been mortally wounded. But the will to fight and survive is strong. And really China is not in much better shape either. They could soon face the same problem that Japan is facing. Their one child policy has created a lopsided population which will eventually come...

Thanks for the input guys. I've been thinking it over and having a look at the links, and I still haven't made up my mind! @rabbitz, I've seen the acer numbers and they look real promising, but anything based on them is still 2 months away, right? And then maybe a few months until something...

I have a desktop that is getting a little long in the tooth, and I'm looking to upgrade the GPU soon and add a SSD. But I'm also looking for my first laptop, and cheaper is better as it leaves more for a better GPU. Can I do better than this: TOSHIBA Satellite L775D-S7206 for either around the...

Was just wondering if anybody here uses PGP in any capacity? And what do you think of it in general?

Have a Little Faith: A True Story, might just be it. Thanks for the suggestion! @Mrvile, not sure I found the book you're talking about, but I did find an excellent Where's Waldo collection that I might just get for my cousins/myself. @Rudeguy, really liking your last two suggestions, thanks!
