Felt. Sadly had to prioritize a new laptop recently as I got reeeeeeal sick and tired of a lenovo netbook.

Hi Psycho,

I'll have nothing bad said about Lenovo products! Believe it or not everything you have seen that I have posted was done on a 12 year old refurbished Lenovo X-61 ThinkPad!

I bought it for $12.43 (£10) from an adult education college when they upgraded their computers. However it still amazes me what it can do.

Thats fair. You also have to realize im a security-concerned tech consultant. Safe to say Lenovo checks a few "hell no" boxes for me

I just have to use what I can get my hands on and afford (which isn't much). I have an old 486 based PC tower but it is about the same age and in storage and the Android tablet I had "Bricked" so I don't have much luck with computer tech.  Roll Eyes

I'm eating a banana. And drinking herbal tea. While catching up on the NFL with the highlights show from the BBC.

Huh?  You watch American football by choice?  Well, you ARE an odd duck, aren't you?  LOL

Obviously, since the BBC carries the highlights, you're not alone, but I didn't realize that anyone outside the US bothered with what we call football.  Come to think of it, what do you call it... just American football?  I know we say soccer when we mean what the rest of the world does when it says football, so I was just wondering if y'all had a different word for the game we call football.

When I finally had money for tech toys, I set priorities. I got sabers.

Same here  Grin

Here in french-speaking western Switzerland we call it American football and I believe all french speakers do.

Yes, we call it American Football. I always found it strange that it's called the "National" Football League but the winners of the superbowl are called "World" Champions.

The BBC highlight show is very enjoyable. The banter between host Mark Chapman and Jason Bell & Osi Umenyiora is hilarious. I'd never sit and watch a whole match though. Far too boring because of the stop/start nature of the game.

I agree with you, frankly.  I much prefer quidditch.  Yes, I am referring to Muggle quidditch, as played by members of either US Quidditch (amateur teams) or Major League Quidditch (professional teams).  My avatar is Sparky, the mascot of the Arizona Sun Devils Quidditch team, holding a quidditch broom instead of his usual trident.

Nah, more like the rabid fans problem. Like i get how us Star Wars fans can get a little intense but were not screaming at each other shirtless with paint on our gut in a parking lot. At least not that I've seen lol.

That's because beer isn't involved in most of the events we attend.

Sports has a tendency to bring the worst of tribalism in its fans. Our tribe is Nerd, and we are generally more accepting of differences because we're not in direct competition.
