An 8GB storage and 1GB RAM model has been announced. Yep, it's set at 499 USD. While I still think that these little things fill a great niche, and I'd love to have XP running on one for light ultra-portable work, $500 is just a bit too high for only 8GB of storage. The first company to...

A close friend of mine is a Floor Manager at the MGM Grand in Detroit. A Floor Manager is a guy who supervises a handful of dealers at game tables at the same time. He started as a dealer and still fills in when necessary. Like others have said, he got really crummy shifts for a while. Now he...

I really enjoy DJ Trinity. You can register on his website for free and then download plenty of long, trancy mixes. http://www.trance-mix.com/php/index.php A great Podcast to check out is Gareth Emery's bi-monthly release. He covers more than just trance, but plays a lot of great stuff. He...

Bah, Cirventhor beat me. Picking a favorite is difficult, but I am also a huge fan of Echoes. I also really love the long, slow build of Careful With That Axe, Eugene. Wish You Were Here will always have a spot on any play list as well.

Quote: Coming from a complete gun newbie is a Glock the gun to get if I don't really want to spend hours disassembling and cleaning? I've been thinking about getting one since a close friend frequents the range. As was already said, it's all about what feels right to you (sound...

KyPen, see post 29 in this thread - that's CaseJ's PS.

I figured I'd add my toys to the thread. This is my Sig P228, my first pistol. I bought it certified pre-owned, but it looked brand new. As mentioned before, it has 5000 rounds with no malfunctions of any kind. I added night sights in December. This is my CCW when dress allows, carried in a...

I've also gone through everything I brought home and don't have anything extra. Dave probably does have it and just doesn't know whose it was.

He may also just want them for ring tones, in which case quality is really not very important.

Quote: What do you do with a gun hobby? I never quite understood it, to be honest, and I'm really curious. How does the hobby thing workout? Do you just upgrade to better guns, try different bullets, and then "use" them at target ranges all the time? Or are they used for hunting? Or are...

Hooray for Gun-Fi! Now we're speaking my language Nice purchase, trains are bad. I shoot weekly with a group of friends and am just starting to get into competitive shooting. One of our regular group is a police officer and he has the same pistol as his off-duty gun, except that it's in...

That's me in the blue shirt behind elrod-tom wearing the Senns, not in the yellow. Also, the little RSA amp is a Tomahawk. No Hornet at this meet unfortunately...maybe the next one!

Thanks for the great time, all, especially to Dave for the hospitality. I did a lot more listening to conversation than I did listening to equipment, also trying to learn as much as I could from those with more experience. I didn't really listen to anything critically or for a great length of...
