I'm not particularly interested in football, and I'm not much in the aesthetics department. Could I just come and drink? :p

The 1GB models are the only ones that are actually netbooks. Has to do with MS licensing restrictions that keep the OS costs low. You have to add extra RAM yourself.

I'm giving up on the Acer and switching to the Toshiba tomorrow. The battery has ~25% more mA-hours which translates directly to more usage between charges. I'm willing to give up charger commonality with the wife for that.

She bought an Acer. I'm handy enough to put RAM in if I have to.

My live draft last year went for five hours.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

If my proposal to commish is unchallenged, I shall start working on rules, pricing and procedures.

Holy crap. How many people were involved? There really should be a cap of 16 teams just so there are enough decent starting players to go around. Also, I've got draft software that helps minimize the silliness, including a five minute limit on picking players. All we need is a laptop (no issue) and a projector (rental fee if no one has one).

I think you'd be a fine commish. Also, has anyone put any thought into having a life draft and then loading it into Yahoo Fantasy? That's what I've always done and it works very well. I've also got a set of fairly balanced scoring we can use as well.

Gotcha.

My point was more along the lines that the draft should only take ~ 2 hours away from the weekend. The rest would be spent drinking. ^^

I would post on the other site to vote on a location, but is it too early?

I don't think so, but I like to plan everything in excruciating detail months before an event occurs, so I'm a bad barometer. :o

That "plus" is the key. I would do the same.

I would probably just buy the 2GB model (also comes with 250 GB HD instead of 160).
