    AH! Just saw another person with a Silver M17x in the same cafe I'm in. I don't know how to act...

    I've never met another person with an M17x... and it's silver. I've owned both red and black, but never seen the silver...

    how should I act... what should I DO? :D :confused: :eek:

    That is like two white buffaloes at the same place or a breeding pair of unicorns.

    Easy.

    If its a girl ask her to marry you. If its a guy it will remain the most awkward moment in your life, this is technically a cosmic impossibility.

    LOL, well do what happens when I drag mine out and see one, we swap performance information. or when I see another TB user and we have to compare scratches, dents and water marks.

    theyre uncommon machines most of us dont mind chatting with a fellow user or asking questions about them


    now if you see my wife with her Black M17X and ask her to marry you we may have issues :D

    if its a guy, ask HIM to marry you. get him to sign that paper (can't think of what it is called atm) and then divorce him and take his laptop and cash. Then, take both laptops to the place and set them up and have a conversation with yourself. problem, solved.

    can you explain to me why this is technically a cosmic impossibility? Two human beings bought the same product happens to go to the same cafe, what is not possible about that? It's unlikely but not impossible. It's not even a Black Swan.

    Technically this is like something out of "Highlander" when two dudes both bearing M17x's show up to the same coffeehouse or Internet cafe. I am pretty sure that etiquette requires one of you to remove the head of the other. After all, there can be only one!.. (or something like that) :p

    i would avoid him/her there is a possibility that they have an R2 and they may mock you for not circumventing Dell and getting your standard issue replacement. there will be shame on your house!, i say leave immediately to avoid it.

    No, we can not explain it to you, because you, wouldn't understand. Alienware M17x Owners are recluses by nature, to see them in their natural environment is about as much a mathematical impossibility as Fusion power being discovered tomorrow.

    you don't know me yet, however enlighten me...


    M17x owners are loners? What source do you have to back up your claim? Just because you may be an M17x owner and a loner, it does not mean other M17x owners have to be the same.


    do you mean out of their natural environment? surely cafe can't be their natural environment if you first claimed they are recluses by nature.

    this is a tough one....hmmmm....well, if its that certain degree of uniqueness you are after, i would sell the m17x, buy a AW desktop and the cart the whole lot along to the same place....i doubt two people would do that and would be quite a talking point eh?

    LOL he does have a little point, most AW owners tend to be computer gaming geeks, and many do little socializing outside that circle.

    But I agree, its inaccurate to paint all AW owners like that lol...

    Why is this a thread? If you see him, say "Hi" maybe? Lozz, you ever been outside in the real world? I consider myself a gamer, not so much as a loner that hangs out with his "online friends" all day. Typical stereotype.

    Anyways, I'd be happy to see someone with the same laptop in my City.

    Don't worry about Lozz, he is starting to be known throughout this forum for being irascible.

    If you have seen The Brave Little Toaster as a kid, he will remind you of the vacuum... Kirby was his name!

    Man, I've been waiting for you to come over and say hi to me for 23 hours now. Stop staring at me and my laptop!

    Just kidding...

    But seriously, I would look at it Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome style....
    2 men enter, 1 man leave!

    Find the first open BFBC2 room and play for laptops!

    Well it appears I know you better than yourself, since it's blindingly apparent you have no sense of humor what-so-ever. What a shame, are you always so clinical? Next time If I were you, I would avoid posting in threads in off topic nature, since you seem in capable of switching off from whatever it is you do.

    I kid...just in case someone else wants to swoop in and analyze that too <_<


    Nice comeback, how old are you? 12?

    maybe you two are just not ready for 'joking' around, opps, I forgot, this is a *super serial* thread, no playing around! ><

    my bad.

    Where was the comeback? Yeah I'm 12, the only thing "funny" in this thread is you, your a joke. Have fun fearing girls and running away from cooties.

    We've had our fun for the night - thread closed.

    I will say that certain individuals need to lay off and not be so aggressive and willing to go after one another.

    If you have a problem with somebody, please PM me or another moderator and we'll sort things out. Doing it in the main forum is inappropriate.

    Thanks . . .
