    Always good to have some more BS around here...

    Understandable. There is always next time. I also will be bringing a buddy on Sunday so one of the seats will be taken.

    Talk about an understatement.

    I've been looking at and reading up on hand throttle setups. I figure once I have a couple other things done I'll play with one.


    Yeah, my boss is always talking about how we should cut out of work early when we get the chance. Then I just kinda laugh and say ok. When you go home at 6p every day; then 5p is early, lol.

    Getting tiered of using my phone for my interwebs trolling. Thinking of getting an I pad or a laptop. Any thoughts? Have about 1,000 bucks to burn on it.

    I like my iPad. Easy to use, small, good battery life. I hardly ever use my laptop anymore.

    You could get both with a $1000 bucks! An ipad and a cheap laptop! I have always bought cheap laptops, about $300 and they serve me just fine for 3-4 years

    thats why I like laptops, Im just more used to them with a real keyboard and mouse. But, and iPad would be cool. I already have an iPhone so it wouldnt be too hard to adjust to an iPad

    Yeah, don't get HP or Apple. One is a piece of junk and the other is expensive to get fixed/repaired when it breaks.

    ^^This^^ I work on laptops all the time at the shop. Right now the better laptops are Lenovos and Toshibas. With $1k you could get a nice laptop that will surf and play DVDs if you wanted to watch a movie. Be careful going for something real small; I have a netbook I use if I am configuring a switch or router; but mainly it rides around in the truck. It is ok for limited use, but I would never use it as a main laptop. Considering your laptop is going to live in your truck with you; I would pay extra for a solid state drive (SSID or SSD) so as to remove a likely failure point and increase battery life.

    Right now I am watching and thinking about one of these. It is a 10" tablet when I want a portable tablet and a 10" laptop when I want a laptop. The Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet is pretty sweet.

    What is there to learn??? an iPad is just a big iPhone that doesn't make phone calls.

    Thanks for adding another option for me to buy! That Lenovo tablet is sweet. I feel more comfortable buying an Lenovo over a Apple.
