I have heard that at least 5 deaths have occurred. I hope and pray that is all.
They are saying about 50 were in the building at the time.

anybody thinking about getting the new iTab?

i think i am way overdue for a new home computer. this one has been nothing but trouble, and even when it was running good it sucked. its really old too, it has floppy drives.

any suggestions? i wont be doing any custom built liquid cooled crap, i dont have time or money for that! i just need something to go on FTE and youtube. i may want to write the occasional word document.
