Ooh, new toy? I've just gotten a huge Dell M6400 from my boss. So I've been installing and downloading software.

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

Probably a bad idea - your arms and shoulders don't want to know how much they're carrying around ;)

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

But I have this huge adapter and I think it's heavier than my EEE is...

It's a good thing I'm not a cat, cause I'd have lost all my lives by now...

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

This is just weird. My new laptop has a key for the calculator. You know a dedicated key on my keyboard. Weird I tell you!

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

Also, my keyboard has a backlight. Which I found out because I was bold enough to try a key with a symbol that looked like a key that was lit up. (Which was not a dedicated key, but my right arrow combined with the Fn-key.) I had to turn off the lights to see that it actually worked though. :)

Is it your computer to keep, Sahi? Or just for work purposes?

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

It's for work purposes, but depending on my next assignment it will probably be as good as a private computer. (Seeing how most of our clients don't like it if we bring our own laptop into their environment.) And my boss prefers it if I take it home. Though, seeing how big this thing is, I might beg off.

Crazy busy at work (as usual), but otherwise okay.

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

My day just suddenly cleared up, and I have a lot more free time. I was going to try to do yoga and stuff before I got online, but now I'm glad I checked my e-mail first. Friend not available for coffee today, and a gym harassment workshop was cancelled. So now I have lots of time.

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

It's a harassment training workshop, mandatory for all employees at the gym. On how not to harass people, I should say. You know, no touching, no winking, no dating people taking your class, no hitting on people you work with, that sort of thing.

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

Oh right!

And yes, the clarification was needed, otherwise I would have guessed it to be self defense-like. :)

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

Time for a new Mint! I've reopened one that was still floating around unused.
