Nope - for others. The netbook is the gift for myself.

What netbook did you get?

Joe Walsh and the helmet cam during "Life's Been Good" never gets old.

He then asked the same question about a /25. I responded that I couldn't do it in my head but I know exactly where to look online to have it calcuated for me (http://www.subnet-calculator.com/). Hopefully that was ok.

That would be enough for me.

/25 is half of a /24 and /26 half of that :D

Sortof. There are half the number of IPs in each successively smaller bit mask, but you always need the two reserved IPs for the network and broadcast. So a /25 will have 126, not 127 (254/2) hosts. And a /26 would have 62. Et cetera, et cetera.

I, too, did NT4 for my MCSE. I upgraded over the years to 2000 and then to 2003. I even took one test for 2008 but then realized that it was actually not all that useful to me. And since I now have to pay for the tests myself (my old company used to) I am not bothering to finish it.

Oh sure. Spain's a no-brainer in terms of qualification, and they're MY personal favorite European team. But tjtenor4 is a HUGE Scotland fan so if they qualify and I go with him, I don't think there's a choice. :p Any one of the big cities like London/Amsterdam/etc would be awesome because there are sure to be major contingents from many countries represented (so we can do quite the tour of pubs).

It's utilitarian.

Will be the Aspire One AOD150 - the 6-cell battery, 10.1 inch screen and Windows XP. I had to decide whether Windows XP or Windows 7 was a big enough factor to consider another model - with the extended support for XP SP3 until 2014, I've decided that the appliance will simply be unusable (or completely undesirable) by then anyway.

Technically not always as I described later ;) I know by normal industry standard this is the case, but a few break the rules!

I stand by my rule. Tattoos last longer than the gig at the club.:p;):D

Hmmm...the Penalty Box FM map is missing all of Africa, Oceania and the Indian sub-continent. Nothing to AK or Hawaii, either.

Shame on us.

I know that :rolleyes:v is passing through SYD this week so if he adds those we'll have Oz covered, and I should have my HNL flights later in October, but there are a lot of holes in our map right now.

Shouldn't NBO and DXB be on there? ALCO?

I decided to go the eBay route. And I decided to use the AmEx directly - rather than eBay gift cards - to get the extra year warranty (Purchase Protection). Cost was $309.95 less $30.00 Microsoft Bing instant cash back and less $6.00 eBay bonus bucks. So a brand-new netbook for $273.95; even avoid the TN sales tax (which would have been $30).
