i'd like to welcome myself to the 8600 club. *bowing* thank you, thank you.

i think i got a HELL of a deal. with a little patience watching the factory outlet site day in/day out, i ordered this last friday, and it shipped yesterday. allow me to gloat for a minute or two in the gloriousness that is...

my swell refurbed 8600:

1.7GHz processor
512,333MHz RAM
External Floppy Drive,1.44 (i'm sure i'll be using this baby all the time... )
80 GIG HD (only 4200...but i'll probably sell it on ebay and then purchase a 60 gig 5400)
128 ATI M10TP
15.4,WSXGA+,Samsung display (yes...yes...)
Broadcomm 802.11 b/g WiFi
4X DVD burner
XP Pro
1 mail-in yr. warranty (not a big deal...i'm not paying for most of this machine)
...and here's the most awesome part...
I GOT A BAMBOO QUICKSNAP COVER FOR FREE...that's right. you heard me right.

BAM
BOO.

AWWW, SNAP!!!

let us take a moment to bask in the awesomeness of the bamboo quicksnap.
...
okay...
grand total: $1847.56

I think you have had a bit more thatn just some coffee........ your blood sugar level has to be off the charts! Plus, the graphite swirl snap on is much more stylish
Anyway, that looks to be a fantastic deal, so congratulations on that!

BAM
BOO.

graphite swirl = buckets of suck.

bamboo is...so natural...so fresh...

the bamboo represents the ultimate contradiction of having something so natural with something so technologically advanced. think about it...it's-oh so-very zen-like.

my haiku about the bamboo quicksnap:
bamboo quicksnap rocks.
i love the fresh green color.
it kills graphite swirl.

my state of zen is achieved
the power is mine.

I can't argue with that logic. Largely because I don't understand it....

'Sides, what's so exciting about PLASTIC masquerading as bamboo? If it was REAL bamboo, I might be impressed.

Sounds like an interesting line of luxury laptops - machines made out of organic materials. Teak cases anyone? :-P

Haha, anyways, andrew, i have a little haiku for you? (ABA rhyme scheme :P)

The Haiku About Andrew:

Andrew is anxious
For he gets a new lappy
Sadly, he is crazy!

Well, the last line is meant to read: "sadly, he is anxiety is making him crazy", but I am constrained by the syllable structure. Darn meter!

Hate to break it to you, but you messed up the meter anyway - Haiku is 5 / 7 / 5 for a total of 17 syllables.
