And what a beauty it is! I'm not going to go into any reviews, but it is a Toshiba Satellite A210. All in all, I am quite happy with the thing ... it's fast, looks good, isn't too heavy - the only bad thing about it is Windows Vista.
Take it from me, if you don't like being treated like a 3 year old by your own computer, Vista is not for you. It asks you to confirm whatever you want to do like 3 times, before it actually lets you do it. It blocks programs which I want in autostart, because they are deemed as unsafe. It's even more a hardware hog than any previous Windows versions. It tries to look and feel like Mac OS X and fails miserably. It - well - simply sucks.
W-Lan on the other hand rocks, of course. I was able to get rid of approximately 30 metres of RJ-45 cables thanks to a new router =)
On the poker front, things have been going up and down for the last 2 days, but all in all i finally ended up about $250. This put me past te $1000 profit mark for hersh, which resulted in the 1st reset down to a bankroll of $1000. With rake-back, that makes about $400 per person. Next target: a bankroll or $2000, to play $105 Heads up. Targeted time to do it in: 2 weeks.
Today will only be a short session of around 10-15 games, as i am working down the Shamrock later tonight. I run the poker tournaments down there every Thursday, which are rather fun. Low buyin (€10), 15 minute blinds, lots of beer. The tournaments start t around 8pm, and the "Main event" generally has around 30 people playing, but I am expecting more in the winter.
Anyway, it's 3.30pm. Definately time for breakfast
