    Not all of us are still using comodore 64's like yourself, some of us like to have the latest tech. If you dont like to learn about new info, then how about you join the forums on www.iamlame.com...

    lol, I love the forums.

    This sucks as I just got my AR150...it's only been out less than 2 months! I guess you can't stop progress.

    ps..what's wrong with the comodore 64? :p



    Edit: I went to Sonystyle and couldn't find mention of the AR2xx series anyplace. Where is it?

    being a very happy AR11S owner would it be possible to swap my centrino duo processor and upgrade to a core 2 duo, i heard somewhere that the core 2 duo can use the same motherboard....

    Has the preorder of Core 2 Duo caused a price drop in Core Duo, or when does this usually happen? How long do you think before Sony Style has Core 2 Duo listed on the website?
