My New Toy

Well I'm off to University in a few months and I thought it was about time I got myself some of the essentials. As I'm taking Computer Science next year I figured a Laptop was the first logical step, being a geek no ordinary Laptop would do.

I present to you the EEE PC 2G Surf


Its a wonderful little piece of technology. It weighs nothing loads in 15seconds and connects instantly to any wireless network nearby and was very cheap, perfect.

ASUS | Eee PC

Perfect apart from a few things, my idea was to get a laptop that is as portable as possible for my lectures and then have all the peripherals back in my room, so now I need the peripherals and a decent Operating system, Linux just isn't compatible enough with the software or hardware that I'll be using in the next few years.

So this is a plea for help, not free money, any advice on where to get a cheap external hard-drive, dvd drive and Windows XP.

The master is an unknown quantity at this point
Doing the same course myself, got a laptop a while back it is a decent laptop with a 180gb hard drive and 2gb ram etc. The best thing about the lap top is some fantastic software including php designer 2008, photoshop cs3. Hopefully my laptop will help me with some of my work when I move out in September. All the exams over yet Adam?

I feel like a proud parent. All my snot nosed little youngsters are growing up.

University!

God, how the master has changed in such a short time. He can actually string a proper sentence together with almost no spelling errors!

Good job guy's.
Have fun at school.

Yep thats me done at school now just wait for my results to see which University I end up at, Fingers crossed for Glasgow.
PHP designer does look nice, I'll have to look into it.
I've got my hands on a copy of windows, now I just need to get my hands on some memory and a CD reader.

A tiny laptop, cd drive, hard drive and all the stuff I'll need computer wise. All for £185, I love the internet.
