Former President Gerald Ford passed away last night...

President Ford died peacefully over the night at the age of 93.

I don't know what to say -- he's a better president than Dubba, that's for sure, but then most of them are.

I caved in... (DUDE! He's getting a DELL!)

Christmas got me a few work shirts and pants that were nessisary in easing tension in the household... but...

I've caved in.

The cheapest, yet modern NVidia laptop would be $1500.  A Whitebook (no-OS, custom) would be $850 if I skimped on the processor and GPU.

Yet an ATI Radeon X1300 sporting Dell Inspiron E1505, with a Core Duo processor, only costs $870.  Under $900.  For a Core Duo!

So, I caved.  The laptop's being built now.
