Woohoo, laptop finally got here

[TallBill]

Yehaw, I now have commercial internet free to use here in Asscrackistan. Woohoo.. What to do, what to do. Granted, I need to be nice to others on the LAN and not download to heavily.


Its a 2.6 celery inspiron 1150. A bit underneath my standards, but the price was right. In case you didn't know, Anandtech was blocked on the old govt internet. Now I'm free!

Did you get it on Ebay?

Can you imagine sending an email to the seller saying what are shipping costs to Afghanistan and do you take Visa?

But, the Gov't probably didn't ban Whitehouse_dot_com from their Internet network. :Q

Congrats on the laptop. Glad you got it so you have something to do on your free time, in addition to staying connected to family, friends, etc.

I remember you bought it from a fellow AT'er, how much was it?

Do they have WiFi around there?

can't you guys scrounge up a few xboxes for some 16-player Halo 2 action ?

 

[TallBill]

No wifi, i bought it from isekii, and i we have a few xbox's but everyones on different shifts. I'm lucky to play 2 player games.

 

[jadinolf]

Keep your head down, Bill, and good luck.

 

[z0mb13]

shameless plug

 

[isekii]

He IM'd me just in time for me to get rid of it.
Shipping was like 21 or 22 bucks with insurance to his APO. Then the APO takes care of the rest.
