[03:10] prolly lots of microsoft swag.. [03:11] * darrell_roa chuckles [03:11] they usually represent pretty hard, these days.. anyways, everyone should have freebies to hand out [03:11] true [03:11] id like to get me a linux sticker to cover my windows key.. but, i kind of like the black tape on there, now [03:12] so, my game plan is to snatch up lots of Live DVD discs and then have distribute them at the next Roanoke meeting [03:12] yup.. folks need coasters [03:12] holstein: I got some stickers for you to cover that windows key [03:12] i like the tape :) [03:13] its non-commital.. and blends in with the keyboard [03:13] gotcha [03:13] darrell_roa: we should have a decent booth showing [03:13] i used to have system76 ubuntu stickers.. i liked those [03:13] the Dell Inspiron 1410 i have, i use some electrical tape to cover the Media Center button [03:14] turns out, if you press that Media button with Ubuntu installed, it trashes the boot sector [03:14] I'll have a whole stack of system76 stickers ... they sent me a bunch of stuff [03:14] i got a 3135.. [03:15] mhall119: i'm looking forward to checking out the Ubuntu table! [03:15] i'm staffing the "Linux in the Ham Shack" (LHS) table at SELF ... [03:16] so i'll have a laptop hooked up to a radio (Ubuntu of course) :-) [03:20] holstein: the 3135 ... that with a touch screen? [03:20] not anymore.. [03:20] i dropped it, and that cracked.. but, i was able to peel it off, and still use it [03:20] i got it from my sister for $100.. spent $50 on an SSD.. then, removed the touchscreen.. its not bad [03:21] i wouldnt get another. or, *any* new windows machine, for that matter [03:21] yeah, i was looking at BestBuy over the weekend and didn't like any of the new laptops I saw [03:22] i would just be tickled to see BestBuy selling a laptop with Ubuntu installed by default [03:22] woohoo! [03:23] should be that new cheap dell out soon [03:23] $250.. with ubuntu, AFAIK.. i would assume at the box stores... we'll see [03:23] yeah, was just looking at the review ... they mentioned it on the Linux Action Show this weekend [03:25] thats where i heard about it [03:26] i was seriously looking at that Dell [03:26] but ordered a System76 instead ... and I talked them into throwing in a t-shirt and the stickers to hand out at SELF [03:30] well, battery is about done for ... time to call it quits for the night [03:31] darrell_roa: cheers
