I don't understand that sentence. Where did I spend 100s of $$? > Oh and the ram? Ram is cheap. Get yourseld 8gb. Costs as much as a good lunch. Nah, I won't upgrade this laptop anymore. It's 6 years old, the heatpipe is worn out, so I can't go full-power anymore, the backlight is getting weaker and the keyboard is falling apart. I don't have too little RAM, I just don't have that much by today's standard. (It came shipped with 1 Gig BTW). I'm gonna build me a nice i5-based minitower once I can afford it. *dream* What a pity though -- you just don't get 1400x1050 laptops anymore these days (or any 4:3 laptops for that matter). > Or a couple of beers on friday night. I don't drink beer. ;-p -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' Please do not share anything from, with or about me with any Facebook service.
