Apparently the Peter Griffin Duck Hunt Game is too big to fit on his current hard drive.

They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas.

That's a pretty decent system :)

I have my doubts. The only laptop style devices I know of that can last 10 hours are really netbooks (or at least "sub-notebooks"). Like the MacBook Air, or the ThinkPad X series.

I don't know about the thinkpad x, but the macbook air definitely is not a net book.

I guess you could call it a sub-notebook if you wanted to. But the only real differences between the Air and a normal netbook, is the price, and that the air uses a core2duo rather than an atom. other than that, the size, and battery life are very similar.

I was referring to my ipad 2 :D

My 8 GB arrived today and is now installed! I had a scare when I didn't push it in properly the first time and started to wonder if it wasn't supported; turns out I just had to push harder. Still, it was an excuse to learn more about the motherboard's spectacular array of lights and buttons ;D

I cranked Portal 1 up to 4x anti-aliasing with motion blur, and it's still flawlessly smooth! What they can't do these days! Meanwhile, Portal 2 is downloading, Portal 1 has extra radios, at some point I'll play Half-Life and Half-Life 2 and maybe some of the countless other games in Valve's complete pack bundle thingy, tomorrow my piano's being tuned, and on Saturday I'm going to fail an audition to play Rach 2 :D

Does the RAM make the puzzles in Portal 2 any more challenging? >:(

It's more to do with being able to run ridiculous amounts of rubbish simultaneously and reducing my concentration to nil. So yes, probably. ;D

What you need is here. Good luck smuggling it across the border though. :-/

I've been to the beer store many times... it's... just a beer store. I guess that works on drunks though.

That's pretty random, but I'd argue that an iPhone is quite a bit more of an achievement than stacking a bunch of cases of beer in a cooler (which the buyer doesn't have access to, they have to ask for what they want).
