So, I ordered a new laptop for work yesterday.
Dell Latitude D820 to replace my four year old D800.
And why am I overspeccing the hell out of this laptop, you may ask?
Do I want Vista? Not terribly, but want to or not, I'll be supporting it soon enough, so I'm inflicting it upon myself. I thought about upping the drive to 120GB so I could run an XP partition alongside the Vista and FreeBSD partitions, but then I'd probably not force myself to USE Vista.
I couldn't decide which icon to use, since the hardware is just Dead. Fucking. Sexy.
But I'll be running Vista, so you can see what was going on in my head after all...
