^ My car insurance for six months is less than that Dreamweaver thing. Actually I almost can pay an entire year for that. Talk about overpriced software.

Tell me about it. I'm a professional web designer/developer and I still don't have Dreamweaver. Notepad works fine for me and I can think of a LOT more things I'd rather spend $400 on. Besides...Dreamweaver makes you lazy and makes you forget a lot of things. I used it for almost half a year and it almost destroyed my ability to whip stuff up from scratch in Notepad. I don't even bother with Notepad++ even though the different colors do make it a lot easier when working on more complex projects. I don't want to have to rely on any third party programs to get my work done. For example, I whipped this site up in less than an hour using strictly Notepad: http://www.heightsupholstery.com Sure it's not the greatest, but if I had actually cared and spent time on it, I could have made it a LOT better. But it was just a $99 slam and bam website for a client so I really didn't give a crap. |

I bought a head band at lake tahoe for 5 bucks. It's just a metal band with a rhinestone sea star on it. My hair doesn't really need a lot of fancy stuff, it's big as it is.

All three seasons of "North and South" on DvD for a mere 12Euro Nice catch for a movie that is of interest for anyone researching modern day perceptions and presentation of the US Civil War. |

Just recently bought Sega Mega Drive Collection for the PS3, and as usual....it's an awesome little game indeed. Gotta love the old classic....I mean, I even got stuck on the very first level of both Ecco the Dolphin 1 and 2 >.< ![]() And on a similar note, my friend bought Fallout 3: Game of the Year Eddition for the PS3 as well, the same friend who stays in the flat as me, so I get to play that one as well whenever I wish. And also on a similar note, he's now got a pre-order down for Fallout: New Vegas

I just got 4 identical Mac G5 computers for only $600! That's just $150 a pop! Here are some specs:*1.6ghz PPC G5 Processor *512mb DDR 400mhz Ram *80gb SATA Hard Drive *Mac OS 10.3 I've upgraded one of them to 3gb of ram and a 500gb SATA drive and I'm thinking of keeping it for myself. It's a pretty quick machine. The others I'll definitely upgrade to at least 1gb of ram and sell them off for about $300-$400 apiece (depending on how much people will be willing to pay for them). I've actually never worked on a Mac Pro before so this was a totally new experience for me. And I must say, they suck when it comes to working on them. I cussed like 25 times while installing the 3gb of ram, 500gb hard disk, and Mac OS 10.5.8. You'd think a machine this big would be nice and easy to work on, but no. Epic fail Mac. Though now that I think of it, I've never worked on a Mac and found it to be a pleasant experience. Whatever. I just hope the "logic board" (talk about a dumb name for it) or something else major doesn't go out. Here is a picture of the Mac's in action:

Just recently, around a few minutes ago actually, bought a copy of The Dark Knight on DVD, the two disc special edition for just under $10 which was awesome. Was going to get a second movie too, Jurssic Park, but, there were no copies available, so gonna try next week for that movie. |

Bought a HP Touchsmart TM2 ![]() ![]() I got it for almost two weeks now and I'm really satisified with it. ![]() I was super busy with school, so I had only like 10 minutes time to doodle something. But WOW! It's sooo awesome to draw directly on the screen! :lol:Only thing is that I'm missing shortcut keys when I'm in tablet mode. So I had to buy an extra numpad... At least I can configure the buttons to my likings.

Bought meself a game yesterday from EB Games for one $12. It was Red Faction: Gurrilia(sp?) for the PS3. Got that with a $2 game guarantee, so if the disc gets damaged, they can replace it, free of charge ^^ It was a preowned disc, which the disc was still in pretty much, perfect condition, no scratches on it at all. |

Okay, here's a game I've purchased for my March Let's Play Project.![]() The interesting thing here is that I'll be doing one of the toughest challenges within the game. It's not something that is required, but is a good challenge. The ONLY reason I purchased it is because my mom gave away my original copy. -_- |
