New toys

Ok. I got a new laptop. You might remember my rants about my laptop order from Dell. I waited over 2.5 months to get that laptop and they never shipped. So ordered an Alienware. A $5,000 dream machine.

Its been a month since I ordered and I just got it. Turned it on and used it to upload a couple pics, and then about 6 hours layer I decided to stretch its legs and try half life 2. Played great for 30 minutes, then *CLICK*, no video. Apperently the video card wasn’t screwed down tight or there was poorly soildered connection somewhere. All I know is that the mother board and video card are damanged ($2100 worth of parts). I called and no questions ask, they are taking the machine back and sending me a new one. Dell would of given me the third degeree.

While I still don’t have a good machine yet, but at least I don’t feel like I’m getting up the rear like I did with Dell.

In the mean time, I just ordered a new Soekris board. Going to get Mono on it. Might tinkering with getting mono running on iPod linux later thats to the new working port on the ARM processor. Hehehe

    Whilst I haven’t gone and put mono on a Soekris Board before, I have used them for other projects and Im sure you’ll have fun tinkering with it.

    Would be keen to follow your progress w/ mono and it.
