T'is a Canada thing.

I have a 140$ budget for Future Shop, but I don't really wanna spend ALL of it.

I'm planning to get these for my laptop (and would like some input):

$70

and

$40

P.S I'm just asking for opinions, but that's not what this thread's just about

How long have you had it for? It's been stationary since you've had it I presume? Apparently the HD sometimes malfunctions with a clicking noise rendering it useless (similar to the RROD I guess) :S

but I do plan on keeping it stationary; so I don't think I should be that worried about it.

Edit: nvm

Wut?

I have commited to the keyboard and mouse set from HP, love the keyboard, but I can't say the same for the mouse. It's EXTREMELY loud when I click anything.

I've yet to try out my WD HD

yes and no...its a victorian holiday that over the last 200 years has lost its meaning (was about taking
the christmas leftovers that you had in boxes and giving shit to the poor or less needy). Now its
about eating your leftovers and sales :sohappy:

When will people learn? :banghead:

Boxing day is the first WEEK DAY after Christmas, not the day after. It occurs on the 26th or 27th, and has been on the 28th too.

Today is Boxing Day, not yesterday.

They really are, it's disgraceful. I won't deny it, England bowled really well. Anderson in particular was on fire, he just ripped straight through our batting line up. Tremel got things off to a really good start, too.

But the team selection, argh! 4 pacemen, Waston AND Smith? Hell, we don't need 6 bowlers. And 2 of those bowlers are terrible! Watson has never really done much and you can't really expect Smith to both perform at #6 and be the main spin bowler. A line up consisting of 3 pacemen, a dedicated spinner and then either Waston or Smith with a dedicated batter thrown into the mix would of been a much better line up. Especially at the MCG, it's renown for getting a decent amount of turn off the pitch.

We are 400 odd behind now and are still bowling. We deserve to lose this match, it's a disgraceful effort on our behalf.
