-Just finished my work week, only thing I have really been following outside of work in the media world is the hilarious Terell Owens situation with him getting temporarily sent home from training camp. Now he is doing his own training camp outside his home and shooting hoops and all. Best highlights ever! Give TO his money dammit! On Cold Pizza on ESPN2 they were talking about Shaq getting PUNK'd and one of the anchors said a great PUNK on TO would be to call him and say "Hi Terell, we decided to give you the money you want but we cannot afford both you and McNabb so we traded Donovan for Jeff Garcia" LOL!
-Oh yeah NCAA also decided starting next year it'd enforce that campuses that have nicknames they dictate are discriminating must remove their logos from their uniforms and cover up all the logos at their venue when a postseason event is being held there. My home campus UND is one of the 18 schools this new ruling applies to, and I think it is pretty bogus and obviously our school is fighting to keep the nickname through some loopholes in the new ruling. I'll talk about this more in-depth in a later entry
-I also spent most of the week shopping around town deciding where I should get a laptop for school. I ended up getting a Dell online, here are my stats
Dell Inspiron 6000
Intel Pentium M 725 (1.6 gig)
Windows XP Media Edition
15.4 inch WXGA LCD Panel
512 DDR2 SDRAM 2dimms
Integrated Intel Media Accelerator 900 Graphics (I wanted an ATI video, but it was a boatload more)
1 yr warranty
60 gig HD
Integrated Ethernet and Modem
24x CD burner/DVD combo drive
External Floppy
Free Dell Color Printer
It all ended up costing me $1080, there was sales and Target has a discount program with them so I got a little bit more off
Guys think I got a good deal? Any of you wanna compare watcha ya got on yours and watcha paid for it?
