First snow of the year+Toughbook=

toughbook and my Peli camera case enjoying the snow!


urg! and thats blatantly the wrong forum!! can someone move this please!!!

 

how much are you asking for this "first snow of the year"?

 

After the 'fun' of getting to work with just under 300bhp, your welcome to this first snow for free!! but its buyer collects and im not splitting it, you need to take it all!!!

 

Lol why do u place your laptop in snow..what if some ice water causes eletric sparks and a you get a NUCLEAIR meltdown!?

Edit: Wow your foot prints are huge.

 

Hi! can you do that on your ACER? I don't think so. Thats the beauty of toughbook, designed in harsh environment. Now! its time for you to change you PC.Lol... Its unbeleivable, do you? FYI, this unit and other fully rugged panasonic toughbook are designed to use in any condition, name it! Even in Warzone.



ohlip

 

good pic Matt. and those are some big footprints! LOL I was trying to pick an accent with that comment "Lol why do u place your laptop in snow" , maybe angry german or indian with a dot like on the simpsons? either way antwerp made a funny

 

That would be Antwerp, Belgium (assuming he is located where his username states). Can you say Flemish?

 

Unclear from the spelling "NUCLEAIR!" lol Location does say Antwerp. Probably a local from there, was in Brussels and Antwerp in 82 last. How time flies! I Just realized the two of you are also from Fl. Hey Springfield, are you still awake!

 

Yep but I should be in bed ... :SLEEP:

 

I am at work. Will be until 0600~0630. Very quiet....and I like it that way!

 

I know who 's sleeping about know. LOL

How can someone be into this crap, come onto a forum about computers and not know that Toughbooks can handle a little bit of white stuff!

 

Lol stop laughing with my Flemmish accent oO.
2nd: Yes I can put my acer in snow, it overheats so hard it could avoid the sinking of the titanic if they'd throw it on that icerock. Cold temperatures are no prob.

Edit: I don't live in the city of Antwerp (I study there), but in a village which is in the province of Antwerp. Its about 50 kmers of that city and yet my lil village is surrounded by cows and a nice manure smell in the spring which hits you right in the face when you pass the signboard that names my village.
Also, don't act like no one mistyped nuclear ever before, I just got exited cuz I was typing in CAPSLOCK!

 

Reminds me of my five years in Germany (man, those were good times!). There is nothing like passing a field where the liquid poop has been sprayed over the crops. Of course, if they are spraying white asparagus....spray away! If you have never had white asparagus fresh from the farm with Hollandaise sauce....ooh my mouth is just salivating in anticipation. Belgium is a beautiful country, especially out IN the country where you live.

 

ST, how the heck are you still awake? You just pulled a 3rd shift, get some sleep. Believe me, I have been there! Or does it take you about 3 or 4 hours to wind down like me?

 

Hey Antwerp! Don’t worry about your accent or your spelling. You are doing just fine, matter of fact there was nothing grammatically wrong with you sentence to begin with (let alone the accent derived from it – BTW Panama City is very close to Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi).
In the English (American or British) speaking world, Americans are the worst at spelling or geography for that matter. Most ‘standard issue’ Americans would not be able to locate Belgium on the map, know what three languages are spoken there, that it hosts the headquarters of the EU or NATO, what currency you now use, think that Godiva is the best Belgian chocolate, ………..all that after sat/cable TV and the internet shrunk the entire globe. But, if there is one thing we in America know your country for, (apart from Godiva) it’s probably the guns you supply us with. LOL

 

It has been snowing like crazy in Denmark as well. Very nice. But instead of throwing my laptop out in the cold white snow, it's been my Volvo which has been doing the rugged trek instead

Although my ThinkPads are business rugged, needless to say I wouldn't dare do what you did to your Toughbook Whole different league of ruggedness.

 

its great! as soon as the snow started I had to test my new toy!! its surprising just how wet snow makes a machine!! cant wait for the spring when it will get a good beating on the yacht!! that will test its daylight readability!!

Jabba, I may not be scandanavian, but my Volvo has been doing the rugged thing for me too!! although 250bhp is possibly a little much for the current conditions!!

 

250 bhp sounds like a S60/V70 T5 - am I right?

I drive a V50 T5 with OBD mod, so about 260bhp/410Nm. With DSTC, proper quality winter tires and appying the W-switch (winter slippery mode) on icy areas, it plows through just about anything during winter in Denmark or Sweden for that matter.

Needless to say, as always, got to apply common winter driving sense like extra distance and braking sooner and smoother.

But my Volvos have kept me safe and comfortable for many years. Just unfortunate that I basically have to pay 2.5-3 times as much for a decent car in Denmark compared to the US.

 

Close! I have a C70 T5 GT Coupe no such wintermode for me, ive a manual, but the TRACS system does help a little...

the ODB mod should give 300bhp on a 2.3 T5 and its on my shopping list for next year!

all in all a vey different drive to last years two winter cars - Mazda Eunos - huge amounts of sideways fun there! and a Mitsubishi Delica - now, that is a proper winter toy!!

just gotta love cars!!!

edit, and im not in the states! im just over the water in the UK!

 

Not to worry Toyo, my schedule is really not too bad. I am on the "Panama schedule", two on, two off, three on and then the reverse the following week. I get a three day weekend every other week, but the weekends I work Friday is 1900-0600 and Sat/Sun are 1800-0600. We pull twelves on the weekends as we don't have any extra manpower around. I usually stay up an hour or two when I get home in the morning, maybe eat a bite. I get to bed around 0800-0900 and get up around noon. Then I take a nap around 1600-1730 and I do fine. Although it has been VERY slow lately and keeping from nodding off at O dark thirty gets harder and harder. It sucks to get old, but I think still better than the alternative.
