Who put you in the pot? It's all wrong like that.
You have to put the pot in the pipe. Then you puff the pipe so you put the pot in the pot.

Snails are delicious.In Italy we eat them as much as we can. But the best way in my HO is a la Bourgignon. Garlic, butter and herbs (parsley mostly).
Before cooking them they have to be "processed". That's why I prefer to eat them out.

yippee! Can you put a linky in your signature. Just to make it even easier for readers to access?

Well, if Ronald didn't traumatise you, how was your bro to know that getting swiped by a car would?? Did your big brother at least feel bad?

Seriously contemplating the purchase of a netbook (again). It could be useful for backing up and reviewing my photos on the go.

Can anyone recommend one with a really exceptional battery life and easily replaceable hard drive?

Check out the Asus T91MT tablet ... If I remember a rightly it has a slot for a SD card that functions as a 2nd hard drive.

I don't want much. If I could find a Tablet under $200 that could beat Big Blue at chess, I'd be happy.

I like the form factor of that, but I'm really looking for something that would give me several hundred GB of storage. It looks like the T91MT only has a 32GB SSD built in, and the SD slot doesn't really help because the whole idea is to offload pics from my camera's memory cards.

While looking up the former on Amazon I noticed that there is also a T101MT for basically the same price. It appears to have a hard drive, albeit it's only 160GB. I wonder how difficult it would be to replace with a 500GB on this model? (Yeah I know hard drives and tablets aren't the best bedfellows, but storage is my primary concern)

that T101MT looks like a pretty nice one.....I'm still thinking there's going to be something better coming in the second half of the year though.
