Is it really necessary to be an ass all of the time?

I'll reiterate Sidoh's question. :)
Yes.  At least when I'm single.

I bought a leet wireless card. Installing.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

I bought a new battery. Charging right now. Hopefully it'll hold a nice charge. :)

You got a wireless card working in Linux? Or it's running Windows?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

For the time being, it's in Windows. It met the minimum system requirements, but the processor is simply too slow, plus my network was screwed up anyhow. Like, broadband router behind dialup Windows box in the DMZ brand of screwed up.

Thorougly dissapointed. It holds a better charge than the other one, but I'm rather annoyed that I paid $44 for something that holds a 45 minute max charge.

I should have guessed. :)

What I read was:

It's Windows, and here's a list of excuses of why I can't use Linux. The real reason being I'd never be able to live with myself!

No, I don't have Slackware laying around. Mail it to me and as soon as I'm not too busy (IE, working, school, church, etc) I'll install it.

Maybe you can sell that one to Value Village and buy a new one now? ;)

I stand by what I've said before - TP 600 is a decent machine. Yes, it's time is close to over now, but I'm not about to get rid of it because I can afford a new one. I'll find some use for it, even if it's not my main laptop (I could even set it on a shelf somewhere, lid closed, under a stack of books, and use it as a HTTP server).
