whoo!
1. Everybody, say hello to Sakel. He is an Acer Aspire One something something something I don't have his model number handy, and has a dark blue cover and no stickers yet. He has 1G of RAM and 160G of disk space in a whirly-disk. He should behave because Sakel the original likes computers a lot.
2. He bore the burden of Win7 for about half an hour before I figured out how to get it to boot from USB. It involved ninjitsu, also the BIOS menu. This was also complicated by the fact that the internet sort of lied to me about which button I should mash to get to the BOOT FROM dialogue, but then I changed the boot order from the BIOS menu and he was like OH HELLO, A USB DRIVE FULL OF UBUNTU.
3. The dude at Office Depot warned me earnestly that I would void my warranty by doing this, and should buy a protection plan.
4. Since he then proceeded to attempt to sell me a protection plan for a neoprene netbook case I felt justified in staring at him like he was a crazy person and sailing on my way. ... He also tried to get me to buy a restore CD but I was like, Oh hell no, if I sell this they get a real OS or nothing.
5. Then I traded in TWEWY for a MegaTen game -- Devil Survivor? -- on the grounds that playing Megaten games is the act of a crazy person but at least I would no longer consider moving up the time on the DS to get god damn Pin Points a valid life choice. No, I never played the omake chapter. Crysi said 'Tin Pin Slammer' and I said 'HELL NO.'
6. A FIVE DOLLAR 'PRODUCT PROTECTION PLAN'. FOR A GOD DAMN FIFTEEN DOLLAR CASE. I DON'T EVEN. I guess they just recently went through 'marketing training' or something.
7. What the hell am I even going to put on 160G of space, I don't even. duplicate the mp3 directory?
8. I am definitely most excited about the way his keyboard is 93% or something ridiculous of a traditional one.
