ICF, if you are refurbishing the laptop, you would end up wanting to add more RAM, the drive should become an SSD unless she saves tons of shit, and it needs a pricey new battery.

I think you are better off buying a new one.

Battery is only $40 and a new drive is probably $60 or so. There is zero chance I'd buy an SSD for her. The RAM limit might be the thing that pushes me to a new system for her.

My friend who works for HP lets me use his discount and I can save about $100 on the laptop.

I have two laptops for myself: a Dell Inspiron 9300 which is sitting unused in my closet (it is still a decent machine) and a Latitude D620 that I use for my every day laptop.

Awesome, the Bears defied the new kickoff rule. I can't believe only six teams voted against, what were they thinking?

NBA 2K12 looks awesome.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

I won't buy it though since I have NBA 2K11, so I'll ask my wife to get it for me for Xmas.

Two things I won't buy: Star Wars Blu Ray set and NBA 2K12
Two things I'll ask for for Christmas: Star Wars Blu Ray set and NBA 2K12

Trying to set up Quake Live.

I thought I had a copy of Q3A stored on my server, but I can't find it.

In a couple weeks I'll be able to tell you what the Star Wars ornaments are, I know work has had them in storage for months.

Why do Windows-based searches suck so badly?

 

[MotF Bane]

Quake Live fails.

1) It uses about 640x480 resolution.
2) It can't remap the back button on the mouse.
3) It already crashed within three minutes.

 

[MotF Bane]

I didn't know Quake III Arena had a cost to it. $20 on Steam, same as Q4.

They should sell both as a pair for $30. Would be awesome.

 

[MotF Bane]

Also, why Windows cannot sort folders by size puzzles me.

[MotF Bane]

43 of the 57 used are shared by Windows, Program Files, Program Files x86, and Users. The remaining 14 GB are unaccounted for, I'm beginning to try to hunt them down.

 

[MotF Bane]

54 used. So 11 missing.

 

[MotF Bane]

...this is strange. All the other folders on C combined total no more than 2 GB. So there's nearly ten missing.

 

[MotF Bane]

Anyone know a tool or feature in Windows to help track down where drive space has gone?
