I bought my lenovo T61 the week before I started my freshman year of college. I also started working in tech support my freshman year, and on a campus where 9 out of 10 students have a lenovo computer (IBM/Lenovo headquarters is 3 miles away), I saw a lot of lenovos. I fix problems on all types of computers every single day, but anyone I work with will tell you, I hate working on Dells, Toshiba...

I've been using Western Digital hard drives since 1998 when my Dell Celeron's hard drive crashed (it was a maxtor). As far as hard drives are concerned, i've taken all different types apart, and the WD hard drives are the only ones that don't have cheap looking and feeling internal parts.

I've used pretty much every type of GPS you can imagine, including the old-school monochrome GPS that only told you how to get somewhere if you've already been there once with it. This device far outscores tom-tom and a number of other GPSs i've used, including military-grade guidance systems designed for navy vessels.

This baby will run on empty with no oil, coolant or any other fluid much longer than it should. Of all the cars i've ever driven, this one takes t...

750 characters is a lot to write for a pair of pants! Basically, i've bought the same exact pair of pants for 5 years, even as i've grown, because these pants are the only ones i've ever found that do everything I want them to.They're loose enough on the legs to be flexible and comfortable, but tight enough to not make me look like a hoodlum. They have a side pocket for my work ...

If there is such a thing, I am a pen snob. I've written with everything from bic round stics to the finest fountain pen, and let me tell you, anyone who doesn't see a difference between them is an ignorant fool. Basically, i've gotten so used to this pen, that when signing checks at restaurants, filling out deposit slips at the bank, and jotting notes down on post-it notes, I only u...
