I got a Toshiba a few years back that was about $1,200 - but battery life lasted 1 hr and a half at the very most. My HP lasts a few hours - but it cost me $2,000 so the battery really SHOULD last.

You know what annoys me? When someone actually asks YOU if you think a certain computer is good, if it's worth it for the specs etc, and then when you say that you DON'T think it's good they go 'Oh well, umm I think I'll get it anyway.' Why the heck did they bother asking in the first place?!

But I was at Myer recently and I saw a good deal on a computer. It was only about $1,300 for rather good specs too. But that special probably had finished by now. But if the computer is just for word processing etc, going for all the good specs probably wouldn't be necessary. But I get frustrated so easily when things don't work instantly. If Word doesn't open instantly I get irritated.

But oh - as for that Kirklands (Premier) bus - EARLY AGAIN! This guy is some kind of early freak! Oh, and he's the Kirklands bus driver that has an EYE PATCH! Seriously! I didn't think you COULD drive a bus with one eye! No wonder he can't read the freaking time!

Anyhoo as for Wiiness, I am going to get Mario Kart. I went and played the 64 one recently, so cool. I loved the Wario Stadium stage and you can cheat by jumping over the wall at the start. But it puts so much pressure on you to get over the wall! Because if you fail then the other person can like lap you. Stressful stage.

I actually quite like the look of the hp's, And ive heard they have decent batt life. I need decent specs (like midrange core 2) as it annoys me too when things dont load instantly.

My mum has a medical condition which makes it painfull for her to drive, so i do all the driving for the family , this means I get to drive to uni, downside is I pay a bit for Petrol

Reminds me of a friend who was stuck between getting an amd 4200+ and a core two duo. I tried to talk him into the core 2 as its better and more future proof, but he wouldnt have a bar of it. Anyways a 8 months later and he regrets getting the amd single core

in wii related news, Anyone pre-ordered aerosmith?

It appears that those who were worried about Japanese copies of Mario Kart Wii not loading on US Wiis through Freeloader may have been breaking a sweat for nothing. Import retailer NCS tested the game on v3.1U firmware and found it to run just fine. Yes, this information directly conflicts with an earlier report from Play Asia, but there's a good chance that Play Asia tested the game with v3.0U firmware which NCS confirmed will not play the game.

In other words, all hope is not lost. Still, go forth at your own risk, there may be bananas around the bend.

I would have had an 8am Maths lecture before a 2pm Engineering lecture, so I decided to just go to the Engineering today.

13 days till Mario Kart, can't wait to get some 12 player WiiChat Australian races going! That means you'll have to re-buy a Wii Brendo.

We don't need to import MKW, it's not that big of a gap in release...

Got my interview tomorrow with EB

Also, I do go to school, last day today for 2 weeks, but because of my sticthes my mum doesn't see it fit to go. And nkbswe5 does TAFE.

Japan release date: April 10th.
Europe release date: April 11th.

US release date: April 27th.

Reviews average at 8.7 at the moment, so it's sounding great.
