**dallascowboy76** Tue Jan 20, 2009 8:00 pm

you me and cubs fan will have to meet somewhere. maybe DC so you can see the nation's capital. then after that go on a three amigos tour Cool

**Scrawney** Tue Jan 20, 2009 8:02 pm

That would be the greatest tour of all time!

**Godfather** Sun Jan 25, 2009 10:18 am

lol xD

btw, has cubs been on lately? Neutral

**Scrawney** Sun Jan 25, 2009 11:18 am

I think he was on the other day but he only posted 1 post. Godfather, you're about to overtake him in terms of posts

**Vault** Sun Jan 25, 2009 12:40 pm

He hasn't been on in a while. I wonder if something happened to him or his computer. I hope not. One week our computer was in the shop and couldn't get on.

**Scrawney** Sun Jan 25, 2009 4:56 pm

My old computer was like that but since I got a laptop everything's been running so much faster

**David K** Sun Jan 25, 2009 5:06 pm

My old comp was like that, the one im using now had to be upgraded. I'm hoping to be able to get a HP blackbird soon.

**Scrawney** Sun Jan 25, 2009 5:16 pm

HP's are good. I've got an HP Pavilion laptop and it runs like a dream and has loads of extras on it

**Vault** Sun Jan 25, 2009 5:47 pm

Lol. That's what went to the shop. We have an HP Pavilion a1600n. At my dad's we have a Dell.

**David K** Sun Jan 25, 2009 8:33 pm

I'm stuck using a dell, which is why I want a new comp lol.

**Scrawney** Mon Jan 26, 2009 6:55 am

I had a Dell as my old PC, I got in around 2003 and it was great for the 5 years I had it until I got really slow and my friend had this really cool laptop (same one as I'm using now Very Happy

) so I got that. I would get a Dell but I don't think Dell are as good as making laptops as they at making PCs

**David K** Mon Jan 26, 2009 5:27 pm

Dells arn't bad they just don't have 120 frames per second when gaming lol.

**Scrawney** Mon Jan 26, 2009 5:33 pm

lol and most of them have Intel graphics which are really bad unless you go for the XPS series which is just specced to suit gamers

**David K** Mon Jan 26, 2009 5:37 pm

Wow, now im all confused haha, I only know enough about comps to get em hooked up and use the internet or a video game.

**Scrawney** Mon Jan 26, 2009 5:40 pm

lol don't worry I was the same before my best friend started lecturing me on why my computer was bad. Basically if you're going to buy a Dell and you're a gamer then go for the XPS series because they're the only ones with the required graphics and memory to play most games smoothly

**David K** Mon Jan 26, 2009 5:44 pm

I have several friend who are computer geeks, but I never pay much attention once they go off into whatever their world is called.

**Scrawney** Mon Jan 26, 2009 5:45 pm

believe me I've only got a basic-medium knowledge of computers at best. My friends sound just like yours, they're so geeky that they've started collaborating to build their own PC together and then selling it

**David K** Mon Jan 26, 2009 5:52 pm

Thankfully mine havn't gone that far yet lol.

**Vault** Mon Jan 26, 2009 6:25 pm

I know more about Macs than PCs because I'm in a Computer Technology course and we use Macs.

**David K** Mon Jan 26, 2009 7:02 pm

I tried doing a computer course but really sucked at it lol...

**Scrawney** Mon Jan 26, 2009 7:05 pm

Closest I got to doing a computer course was when we did something called Key Skills which was totally pointless, I got 100% on the exam because it was things like "Copy and paste the text into another window (Ctrl+c and then Ctrl+v) and print the screen to prove you've done this (Print screen)" you got 1 mark for opening a document and the hardest thing was making a lookup table in Excel which isn't hard when you get shown how. I finished in 30 minutes, would have been shorter but you had to print screen everything

**David K** Mon Jan 26, 2009 8:04 pm

Even I could do that!!!

not that I mind all the computer talk ... but you guys really got off topic...

I saw that Shawn was up in South Dakota again - this time as a guest speaker at a All Stars Hockey game event the night before the game...

Shawn talking about getting selected to talk at 2009 USHL All-Star banquet Tuesday night at the Sioux Falls Convention Center

and another interview I think is listed here... not sure this is a "charity" event but at least it isn't talking about people's olde computers (which I have... a Dell Pentium III, LOL)
