I’m getting the XPS 17 with 3D Blu-ray in Full HD (1080p) 3D display. Incl Nvidia 3D glasses with 3D capability, It came with a 1TB hard drive but I upgraded it to a 3TB drive. Got a discount of $250.00
I already have a desktop XPS here and it’s an amazing computer (3 years old) so I thought I’d get Dell’s laptop version as well.
PS:
The second Blu Ray rewrite drive I bought with it is an external one

@ Ratboy and Coffee Steve.
Gas in the Dallas area is hovering around 3.65.
With my Kroger discount I last bought gas for 3.44.

See you guys after school
BBL…

@ Coffee Steve
With the Nvidia 3D glasses with 3D capability I think I know what sites you are going to visit.
Me thinks you want things to jump out at you and look bigger. Please no self videos.
Sadly i cant think of any mathimatical way Romney can win the electoral vote…anyone see it differently or are we just going through the formalities a la 2008….
@dana
The first step in losing an election is to be overwhelmed by a feeling that a win is hopeless. I pay attention to electoral votes on election night, after votes are counted.

Six army battalions called up under emergency orders to meet growing threat on Egypt, Syria borders
Knesset approves IDF request to call up a further 16 battalions if needed
@lbsles
We go to the movies once or twice a week, and love the 3D movies, so we started buying the 3D versions of Avatar 3D and various others, so I figured if we enjoyed them enough we should start investing in 3D technology.
I’m starting with the 3D Blu Ray drive on the Dell and saving for a new large screen 3D TV. I’m not going in debt ever again so we will be patient until I can buy won, as a retiree I am on a limited budget now LOL… The wife makes ALL the big bucks now…But with my pension and savings we ain’t doing real bad..
Apple Stinx:: i know your right ,i guess the map looks so overwhelming…buti guess Bush won, so its possible…
^won=ONE
@Dana & AppleStinx
The electorial college map looked as bad for Reagan up until 3 weeks befoe the 1980 Election too, granted it’s different today, but it’s still possible.
coffee:: it just amazes me what people see in this guy that i am missing…i interview and hire people all day long and i could tell that this guy is bluffing…i guess thats why kim kardashian could be famous for absolutely nothing…what a society…
@dana
In the reporting circles it’s called the “sound bite society syndrome”, most people form an opinion of someone over a 30 second sound bite instead of checking out things for themselves, no one takes the time anymore to check on their stands on issues, they allow TV people to tell them what to think and how to feel and how to vote.
Six army battalions called up under emergency orders to meet growing threat on Egypt, Syria borders
Knesset approves IDF request to call up a further 16 battalions if needed
The IDF has issued emergency call up orders to six reserve battalions in light of new dangers on the Egyptian and Syrian borders. And the Knesset has given the IDF permission to summon a further 16 reserve battalions if necessary, Israeli media reported on Wednesday.
coffee:: and then we all pay the price for the ignorance of the masses….old people i talk to are convinced that the republicans will cut back their medicare when the opposite is true and when you try to tell them theyre wrong they say that i dont know what i am talking about….i asked them who tells them this crap, they tell me chris mathews or big ed….i give up…
So when do we START to beleive him??
Obama: ‘New York girlfriend’ was composite
One of the more mysterious characters from President Obama’s 1995 autobiography Dreams From My Father is the so-called ‘New York girlfriend.’ Obama never referred to her by name, or even by psuedonym, but he describes her appearance, her voice, and her mannerisms in specific detail.
But Obama has now told biographer David Maraniss that the ‘New York girlfriend’ was actually a composite character, based off of multiple girlfriends he had both in New York City and in Chicago.
“During an interview in the Oval Office, Obama acknowledged that, while Genevieve was his New York girlfriend, the description in his memoir was a “compression” of girlfriends, including one who followed Genevieve [Cook] when he lived in Chicago,”
