    I finally got my old notebook sold and my new (to me) CF-29L4L just arrived today. It came without the drivers, which I finished installing a few hours ago. Got all my fn keys working and the backlit keyboard is verrra nice. Got 1 of the 2 yellow tab batteries and 1 of the 5 (5!) MP batteries that came with it in and charged. 11+ hours of battery life... so nice. I've still got to get the rest calibrated and charged up, but I am so psyched. I feel like I've finally found a laptop that can withstand me.

    This thing ROCKS!!!

    The "best thing" BEFORE sliced bread (by automation anyway) I believe was either the Gatling Gun or Dynamite.... It depends on who you talk to!

    Oh yeah, I can definitely see myself becoming an addict. As it is, while I was going on about the various features, the wife says "stop talking about it, you're going to make me want one too!" Bwahaha.

    Better than beer? Perhaps a Toughbook that brews beer.

    Or perhaps we spill beer on our Toughbooks... But that would be alcohol abuse...

    I got my Fiance, mother, 2 of my best friends and EVERY single one of my employees hooked and using them... :D

    There's a country Inn down here (Snook, TX - about 3 hours away) that serves CHICKEN-FRIED BACON. They're actually famous for that bit of heart-unwise deliciousness...

    I can hear my arteries scream just THINKING about it...

    Snook is a city in Burleson County, Texas, United States. The population was 568 at the 2000 census.

    Snook is home to Frank Sodolak of Sodolak's Original Country Inn, the inventor and first known restaurant to serve chicken fried bacon.

    To quote from the Wiki link posted by topcop,
    "They've taken fat, they've double-coated it in fat, they've fried it in more fat, and then they've served it with a side order of fat."
    This from some weenie nutritionist aka the "Fun Police, Food Division".
    God bless Frank!

    You're all just waiting for the Deep Fried Mars Bar to cross the Atlantic.
