Took my XPS 2 to lab for a presentation today

When I took it out of the bag and fired it up, I forgot that I had left the lights on and it immediately caught everyone's attention. Also had my guild wars snap-on in the back so all the chicks in the class were commenting about it One of them tried lifting the laptop and commented how heavy it was and of course my answer was, "well this laptop wasn't made for women" lol. Hell even my professor came and tried to pick it up (she's a small 5'4 woman) and looked strained, pretty funny day.

Unless you're a butch dike that has muscles, the average woman will find the XPS heavy, nothing sexist about that. If that weren't the case, the girls in my lab wouldn't have mentioned how heavy it was to them.

good thing you didn't surf a porn site and left it in hibernate. I did that during Thanksgiving and when I fired up the laptop and it came of out of hibernate there was the site in its full glory. I felt like crawling into a hole. Luckily it wasn't anything hardcore, just a pic of a naked stacked blonde.

There were my older brother, his wife, my uncle, and my 12 yr old nephew. Everyone else were still sitting around the table. I quickly closed the browser and mumbled sorry. No one made any comment and that was the end of that. I think they understand, after all I am a guy, not like I'm gay or nothin. Best of all my wife didn't see it.

lmao while not quite as bad as that, I took my laptop to the university union/lounge area 3 days back to meet with lab partners to go over our Powerpoint presentation and while they were watching, I clicked on the My Documents directory and forgot I had a bunch of pics of scantily clad women + a few nude ones there. They were both guys so they got a laugh out of it, fortunately the girl we work with hadn't shown up yet.

Oh man, I've done that!!! I learn not to set Windows Explorer to thumbnails now. Why can't we all just be open minded about porn?

Haha, homophobia is so funny. (BTW, it's 'dyke.' A dike is something you stick your finger in to stop a leak.)

Hmm, that'd also be a good trick to play on a fellow notebook-haver. Hibernate it with a bunch of pr0ns on the screen, so they get a nice surprise when they open it up at school/work/etc

And yes, I think my i9300 is insanely heavy so I'd probably have a hard time lifting an XPS too. :P
