thanks folks. i'm still thinking about things. my early phase probation period ends tomorrow... decision time!

"If nothing else, find someway to do what you love. the rest will work itself out." the question now, though, is what do I love? and I just don't know the answer to that question... travel really can confuse a person... (or maybe just solo travel when the only person you have to converse with is yourself, so you rethink, and rethink, and rethink your future goals and dreams...)

And, Eric, Eli's girlfriend isn't, by any chance Laura Kozak is she? cuz that would be sweet if it is...

Beck, by the way, you're talking of the one on Calgary Trail? They're kind-of going through major renovations, everything has been moved around and no one knows where anything is, so it's really shitty for the staff too (as well as for the customers). I know that's really no consolation, it's not from my end of things either, but at least the store's open... (for the sake of the owners making more money, of course. I mean, really, if you were desperate for hardware etc, there are plenty of other places on the south side to go, and plenty of other canadian tires to visit as well... [just don't tell anyone I said that!])

There's no AGP slot on that thing either? Non!

Tay the only thing I don't like about that computer is the integrated graphic card. It is basically a software driven graphic card which takes 128 MB from your Gig of ram to run. Not too bad considering you have a gig of ram but the card blows. All that other stuff such as the P4 processor and ram won't fix the downfall of that card. Probally equivalent to my card on the comp I'm using right now, which ain't much, no half life or anything like that. Alright for adobe photoshop but could be better. Also you have 2 and only 2 PCI slots, not PCI-express which would be better, since you could throw on a PCI express graphic card if need be. Overall if you are getting this computer to do a little of this and that it ain't bad. It has everything you would need and a little more extra. Yeah only REALLY bad thing about it is the graphic card, everything should run as advertised.

oh yeah i guess i didn't make an announcement here- THERE'S NO TWISTER per se on tonight, but I'll be DJing (and Tony probably as well)

Looks like a good deal to me.

Alison, you should find something else. If for no other reason, then because since you started working there, the service at Canadian Tire has degraded 832%. I was in there yesterday to pick up a set of stubby wrenches for a christmas gift and they were out. Not only that but it took us 20 minutes to find out they were sold out because no-one would help us in hardware. Once we gave up in hardware and migrated to another part of the store Keri asked an employee (who we assume we caught off guard and not hiding in a bunker somewhere) about stuff to hang curtains. The guy looked genuinely scared and said he didn't know, but we should try in the hardware section. That, and only 25% of the items were priced on the shelf. It was terrible.

oh yeah. i searched damnyouparas on google, cause the board was konked out the other night and i had to find that UFO summoner video.

LOOK, IT'S A CONTEST!!!

If somebody finds a better deal on a computer than this, I'll buy the better one, AND I'll buy you a beer... or two or three. I may very well just get drunk with you... except you'll be doing it for free.

Bear in mind, Futureshop has FREE shipping. Shipping costs need to be accounted for!



Oh yeah, and it has to be under $900. I just realized "deal" could be a relative term if I don't stipulate that. Plus, it'd be nice if you could find it BEFORE futureshop sells out on that one.

well, if there's one thing I wish I didn't have to do, it's work.

It used to be school... but assuming I pass this class, it has been crossed off the list.

So now it's work.

Not working is pretty much the sweetest thing there is. However, not working is also sometimes impossible.

I don't know if that's any help. But that's my take on it.
