Collar bomb was a fake, BTW.

Holy hell that's crazy. I saw a story from Florida I think where someone had one on that wasn't fake. He claimed someone else put it on him but cops were pretty skeptical about the whole situation. The news footage was cut about .01 seconds before it happened but turns out his story was true and the other guy detonated it.

I am not going in your Surface Pro thread, Dbake, because it will end up being a giant time sink. But I recommend that you stay away from the Surface for now. The RT has no apps. The Pro is priced like a Macbook Air or one of its high end clones and the user experience isn't that great. I think the Surface Pro could be a really great product in a couple of years once Intel gets their Atom processors where they need to be, but right now the Pro is heavy, blows hot air on your hand, gets poor battery life, etc. I like where Microsoft's going with it a lot, but Intel just isn't there yet.

If Word is a requirement, I'd go with one of those thin Windows "ultrabooks" that look like Macbook Airs; you should be able to find one of them for about the same price as the Surface Pro.

(I can't unequivocally recommend a Macbook Air itself, as nice as they are, because, while I've always found the Mac version of Word to work interchangeably with the Windows version, the two Powerpoint versions are only 95 percent of the way there. I could not just trust that slides I'd created in the Mac version would look identical when the instructor opened them up in Windows.)

I have used MacBook airs and really like them. Fairly pricey, though, so I dunno if i'll go all in for that.

Just out of curiosity, anybody have experience with the lenovo twist? went into staples today and just looked at random stuff.

I really might be better off looking for an older thinkpad or something simpler that does not run the new windows. it is maddening.

Not to get serious during a non serious discussion but unless the whiskey is rot gut or it's around 3 am, don't drink your whiskey out of the bottle. Even good whiskey tastes bad that way.

Indeed. I have to admit I have whiskey-specific glassware. But that's because almost all the whiskey I drink is worth savoring.

I do have a bottle of white label Bushmills that goes in coffee sometimes.

This is the best all-purpose whisk(e)y glass I've found. I bought a big box of them from Amazon.
