"Your... your pool didn't have a grotto?"
My search for a new computer has come to nothing. I did travel to Austin and found myself at the Apple store in something called "The Domain," which sounds like a torture chamber, but actually is a fancy shopping complex. The Apple store was chock full of fascinating products like the brand-new iPods, but practically devoid of anyone who could help you claw your way to a purchase. Eventually I just gave up. It was kind of sad, really.
It's a long way, in terms of mileage and culture, from Waco to Austin. Waco is hoping that someday a Poppadeaux's Restaurant may locate here. Austin, meanwhile, is one of America's battlegrounds in the struggle between the rich and the super-rich:
In The Know: Are America's Rich Falling Behind The Super-Rich?

Get ANYTHING that does NOT have Windows Vista. Poor Mrs. Tradelawguy got a new computer that has Vista on it and it has given us nothing but trouble (i.e., the Microsoft BSOD - blue screen of death).

I'm glad to hear that even with all the changes Microsoft has packed into Windows over the years, they at least have had the decency to keep classic features like the blue screen of death.
Since 1998, I have bought nothing but Apples, so I'm lookin' at MacBooks. No crashes. No viruses. No blue screen of death.

Mrs. Tradelawguy is hoping I stumble across some diamonds (blood or otherwise) in Africa so she can get an Apple...

Trade & Osler:
Haven't you heard? If you want to free Apple ibook, all you have to do is make a video of yourself smashing yours with a sledgehammer complaining about Apple and then out it on YOU TUBE. They sent that one guy a new on....
Trade: You are going to THAT part of Africa??? I saw a documentary on PBS on the course the diamonds take after they are mined there. You know they pay those diamond digger guys like 30 cents a diamond and then they take them and sell them and process them and end up making like $6000.00 a carat at LEAST IT is TERRIBLE!!!!!! Then there is this other mine in Canada that is like under a frozen lake and they make these trucker guys drive on this road made of ice to get there..
I have a diamond and its nice and I like it but I did not know any of that when I got engaged.

Wow . . . I didn't know Austin was at that level . . . with people who aren't motivated enough to get that MBA or that PhD (great video!)

If you go to an Apple store, get on-line before hand and make an appointment. If you have an appointment with the Apple Concierge, then they have to drop what they are doing to come help you shop.
Even if you don't buy a thing, they have to treat you like "The Osler". You should try it.
BTW, you can borrow my brand-spankin' new MacBook Pro if you like.

That's funny: Bill calls that the Blue Screen of Death too. I have a feature similar on my Blackberry.. The Spinning Hourglass of Death.
THey charged extra for it, but its worth it....

Prof White, "The Osler", that is hilarious! That sounds like Prof Osler played guitar in a hair band in the 80's, maybe Damn Yankee Lawyers or something...
