Getting a laptop for work via Fedex. I negotiated new rates on the account at work and got a dell credit for a new system, scale, etc.

Now I can hang outside on the patio at work and I won't have to huff the AC air and listen to the senseless babble of salesmen. I can take it home for work too.



BTW:

Dell D620 Core Duo 1.66GHz
Nvidia Quadro NVS 110M
1gb RAM
Bluetooth
Intel 3945 dual band wifi
14.1 inch WXGA+ (wide screen)
CDRW/DVD
XP Pro

The choices they give you for the Fedex program are really limited, basically it was this machine or a nerfed Optiplex desktop.


Not bad for free though.

Sounds like an awesome freebie to me!

Core duos are fun toys, i wouldn't worry about it. Seems like a good solid machine.

Sweet! I've got an IBM T60 from work, but I'm not sure if that's a good laptop or not.

IBM/Lenovo would have been my first choice, I like the Thinkpads.

I just got the same one a month ago from work. It replaced a SONY that was 5 years old.

Sooo..... is the T60 any good? Can I brag to my e-friends about it?

Does it do Solitaire?

Does it do Solitaire?

I have no idea. Where would I find out?

If it was up your ass you would know where it was. Right next to your head no doubt.

Nope. Not there... Testy Westy.

Just doing my JBP impersonation.

You're too young to be that curmudgeonly....

But the Scot in you probably helps.

 

[H8R]

The thing finally showed.

I'm sitting in my truck about 1/4 mile away from work eating a sammich and surfing RM on the company wireless that I installed.
