    I had a horrible nightmare last night.

    I dreamed that I was using my new Dell Inspiron 1520 and the few applications I was running was slowing down the computer. It was running out of RAM, it was freezing up and the graphics were very choppy.

    I then woke up, turned on my laptop and it works amazingly!

    I gotta say, I just don't get the compulsion to reformat the new Inspirons with Vista. I didn't, had almost no junkware that I could see and the dang thing is lightning fast. Why go through the risk of having missing / incompatible drivers, losing media direct, etc?

    I had a dream that I had brought my 1420 to school and left it in the library charging. When I came back, someone had stolen it. :eek:
    Another dream I had that same night: I left my 1420 charging in a parking garage (ya, i know...) and when I came back, it was completely destroyed! :eek:
