You need to get your ass down to a computer swap meet. Much much cheaper. Even 7/11 would sell a 1gig for 10.99 :)

I got a 4GB one for $34. It recognised my Linux O/S without a problem. I just plugged it in and it read it.

I saw an 8GB stick today for less than $50.

You should check out any computer swap meets in your area. Fortunately, we have one here every Sunday.

LOL Franki. :lol:

Use a roller and lay it on nice and thick and you might get away with one coat. Just don't pull that carpet up until after you paint so you don't get paint splatter on those nice polished floor boards. :wink:

Finding out that a woman I'm attracted to is seeing "more than one guy" already, and is looking to "simplify, not diversify".

Ouch.

First time I really connect with someone in a couple of years! Oh well, back to Marx I go... :P

rationalisation is a killer. look at our suburban grounds. not that you are a suburban ground omar. :)

but if she is wanting to simplify, i don't understand how you're on the outer. :P

all joking aside, always a shithouse feeling but i suspect you'll move on ok.

Hey, I'm a simple suburban boy with small dreams.

I'll get over it, we had only just started seeing each other.

I'm pissed off at trying to read and comprehend a friggin text book for a post grad course, having never actually been in a uni and doing year 12 well over 20 years ago :evil:

I'm gonna have to read the required chapters 3 times before it starts to stick and I can do the assignments.
