<0> Got to say though, the Pro doesn't seem worth the extra bux0rs.
<0> Coma: Heh.
<0> Ooh. The Pro has a backlit keyboard! That's totally worth $600.
<1> Evii: Oh, it very much does
<2> what is this idea of having shiny screens?
<2> They must be a royal PITA
<1> Heh, opinions on that differ very much
<1> Some hate them, other like them very much
<1> They're supposed to give you a brighter, saturated image
<2> But what if you've a window behind you?
<1> Then they're utter crap :)
<1> Still, I have a nnon-glossy screen, yet if the sun's full behind me, it becomes unbearable too
<2> Coma: sun full behind you is a different matter.
<1> I'd much like a screen that's non-glossy and usable in full sunlight :)
<2> Coma: and the backlight powered by a small power station
<3> Coma: don't work in the daytime?
<3> heya Evii
<0> Nanuq: Herro :)
<1> Nanuq: Ohhh, good idea!
<3> Coma: or close the curtains/blinds?
<0> Well i've no idea what laptop to buy. Totally confused. :)
<3> Evii: If you find one, lemmie know. I'm considering another.
<2> Evii: how much you wanting to spend?
<3> Evii: Something smaller.
<0> On the bright side, everything is like a million pounds cheaper in the US.
<0> whyzzyrd: About $1300 give or take on either side.
<4> Evii: Them evil monkey tend to want you to cough up VAT at the border though
<0> wlfshmn: Not if I smuggle it back ;)
<2> or preferably triple.
<3> wlfshmn: how'd they know you didn't bring it when you left?
<4> Evii: if you are actually travelning with your item, it tend to be no problem, agreed
<3> s/you/he/g
<3> wlfshmn: ah ;)
<4> Nanuq: I was thinking more along the lines of shipping items
<0> Nanuq: If you want small, check out those ThinkPads. $boss's wife puts one in her hand bag ;)
<3> Evii: Lenovo, surely?
<0> Nanuq: She's got a ThinkPad. But if I were buying one, it'd be a Lenovo, yeah.
<4> whyzzyrd: three panels that you fold out? ;)
<0> whyzzyrd: Kind of takes the portability abit away, no? ;)
<3> Evii: I liked the size of the 12" iBooks, but I didn't think the screen was worth a penny.
<0> wlfshmn: haha.
<0> Nanuq: The older iBook screens were okayish. Nothing to write home about, though.
<2> wlfshmn: yup. Lift the 3-panel module, fold out either side of the main screen.
<5> the weekend is coming closer ;)
<2> Evii: They'd not be too heavy, but they'd make the thing thick.
<6> Does rap glamorise violence?
<2> bastard
<0> whyzzyrd: True. Pitty you couldn't develop something that'd remove the two joints so it was just one huge fold out widescreen :)
<2> Evii: I know a man that can (tm)
<0> whyzzyrd: That -would- be impressive.
<4> Evii: There would likely be a line, but you could probably make the line rather thin
<2> Evii: Professor Ifor Samuel in our Physics dept has roll-up LCD's
<3> MacBook starts at $1249 CAD
<4> Evii: that, or you would have to go with flexible panels.. but -that- would be expensive
<3> I like the black one. Num.
<1> Nanuq: But in that configuration are barely usable
<0> Nanuq: Apparently the finish is $200 though :)
<4> whyzzyrd: yeah, and ask him what a 3000x1000 pixel display would cost ;)
<3> Yeah.
<1> Evii: A can of spraypaint doesn't cost too much ;)
<3> I don't use my mini though..
<4> whyzzyrd: probably in the range of his entire research grant ;)
<2> Evii: I'm sure you could arrange something with a sliding out of panels from behind the main one actually, taking the bezel out with you.
<2> wlfshmn: quite possibly, if you think it'd got $17m
<2> s/got/cost/
<0> Coma: haha. Yeah. But looks infinitely worse. Would you -really- spray paint you shiney new MacBook? ;)
<0> whyzzyrd: You'd get rid of the bulk then, too.
<1> Evii: Of course, and bright red at that
<2> Evii: you'd still need the top-panel to be thicker, to accomodate the backlight arrangements
<7> Evii: http://siksai.co.uk/gallery/Wedding
<0> Coma: Gah!
<1> Hey Russ, congrats!
<0> whyzzyrd: Surely it'd still end up being thinner if it was slidey, though.
<0> rhowe: I saw them $few_day's ago :)
<2> Evii: but some of the modern top-lids are only 1/3 as thick as the lid on my old C810
<0> rhowe: My favorite is the "two finger" one ;)
<7> Evii: heh
<2> Evii: oh yes, but I expect the buggering cables would break in short order.
<7> Coma: ta :D
<0> whyzzyrd: Yeah. That would **** if one display suddenly died.
<0> rhowe: How was it?
<1> Hmmm
<0> whyzzyrd: Ooh. Seen the Dell XPS series?
<2> Evii: I'll start thinking about it, I've got a pile of panels.
<3> how are the new minis, anyhow?
<0> ****ing stupid Dell site. Stop redirecting me back to the UK, dammit.
<2> Evii: Yup. My friend that just got a Precision M90 looked at them as well.
<0> whyzzyrd: Aren't they a type of razor blades? ;)
<2> Evii: it appears not
<0> whyzzyrd: They're neat, actually.
<7> Evii: Great
<7> Evii: And damn hot
<7> Evii: Despite the weather the night before saying "rain from 11am for the rest of the day", which was hardly encouraging
<0> Oh. My. God. "NTFS File System [Included in Price]" ...
<8> lol
<0> rhowe: Glad it was nice. :)
<7> Evii: What? Not a chargeable extra? :)
<0> rhowe: "FAT32 File System add $0" -- owned.
<3> Russ! Hans!
<3> I'm surprised someone hasn't come up with the CARB filesystem
<2> Nanuq: More likely the RBAR fs.
<3> whyzzyrd: hmm?
<2> Nanuq: Re-Box-And-Return
<2> Nanuq: most secure FS
<9> I cannot make my touchpad work, it does click by tapping, what can I do ?
<5> whyzzyrd: I can't find anything about RBAR fs in google... can you show me some information?
<2> cyberpunk: sure. http://www.snopes.com/humor/business/wordperf.htm
<5> thanks anyway ;)

<3> work
<2> work?
<2> or, more correctly wIRCing
<0> Hmm. Pretty much sold on the Latitude range. :)
<2> Evii: really?
<2> Evii: they even do a 4 year warranty on them now.
<12> Evii, which Latitude?
<0> fredk: Looking at the D820
<0> whyzzyrd: Yeah. They seem pretty good and the price is really good too.
<12> Evii, nice, it's pretty big though
<0> fredk: You get lots with it, though ;)
<13> pfeh. early.
