Default OT: Digital age...

Slightly off topic, but as we move more and more into the digital tuning age there are going to be a lot of people looking for inexpensive laptop computers. My laptop is a nice HP I paid quite a bit for, I'm not too keen on the idea of carting it around to garages and dynos to tune cars and killing it. Interfacing with logging devices and tuning devices does not require a high end laptop, so I suggest inexpensive ones. I offer an example, I just bought a refurb Toshiba with 512M RAM, 30G hard drive, real serial ports and USB ports at http://www.geeks.com for 399.00. I looked today and the price is back to 439.00, they have one day sales on different things every day. I'm not affiliated with Computer Geeks in any way, but I sure have gotten some great deals there and I just wanted to pass that info along.

Regards,
Russell

Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in The Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people.
