Hi HO.
Can I help it that my wife wanted to buy a larger TV for the upstairs than me?
Man, we're spending a lot of money today. We can soon have an i-dub meet @ my house, and you won't have to bring your own cushin!
LaterZ!
Darren!!

So after a full day of mucking around, I finally got Win2K onto the new box, and I have to say it's the fastest right now unless you have things that just eat up CPUs after CPUs (my other box is a dual 1900+ vs this single 2400+)
This exercise shows that I haven't been building boxes for a long time - a full day just to get Win2K install going

I've decided to go against the surround sound system for the upstairs. I want a home theater downstairs, so I'm going to save up for the whole schebang - projector, screen, 6.1 surround sound, etc. I don't want that stuff for the upstairs living room.
We grapped a 42" Samsung rear projection TV.
LaterZ!

This is the TV we grapped.
The TV comes in a week, and the furniture will be here in a couple weeks. We'll prob. throw a little get-together around my b-day.
LaterZ!

Hi HO.
Okay, so the TV comes in on Sat, and the furniture will be in my house in a few weeks. Reen and I are planning a my b-day/house warming schindig on Oct 17th at around 3pmish. Just an open house - come by and snack, visit, etc. Still tentative though, but it looks pretty set.
LaterZ!
Darren!!

I don't know about swaybars - I feel my car handles fairly well for the way I drive, although a tad stiffer bar would help, comes winter time on smooshy tires, it can become deadly oversteer. I'm more inclined to save my money for big power although it's time to get my front pads swapped after 2 years - I'm also thinking of 2 piece rotors when the front runs low.

I've been driving around for who knows how long now with my whiteline bar set to the stiffest. Mostly it's OK though I took a couple runs in it at the autox school on Saturday and managed to loop it. Other than that I was suprised by how I could drift the car.

Gosh, what fun it is giving DT's. Studnuts come to class, yet aren't prepared to work. They're complaining that it's too hot in here during the DT.
What a power trip. :devil:
