So, I've finally got my computer up and running in my apartment. My old laptop was getting progressively worse over the last few weeks so I finally got a new desktop. It is really nice, much more powerful than my laptop... and it can output directly to my TV. Which is very nice (in my opinion). The video card actually has an HDMI output on it.. so I don't have to deal with odd sizing issues or anything like that.
I've been trying to get back into the riding scene. I was off for a week.. then this last week was sort of wonky with weather, work, and bike issues. But this last weekend I rode saturday and sunday. Went extra hard on Saturday... is hurt a lot. And then Sunday the same Cat. 2 rider showed up and decided that a nice slow recovery ride wasn't going to happen. So we averaged 20+ for that ride... which is pretty quick considering the amount of turns and stop and go we had.
Anyways.. hopefully I'll stay healthy and get back into the swing of things.

I'm technically not a category since I've not road raced in over 2 years.
I'm liking the desktop... since I rarely took my laptop anywhere anymore. I got a nice wireless laptop (thanks to my brother) and I can output directly to my tv... so I can do all my work on the couch (not that I have anywhere else to sit in my apartment).
But yeah.. I like it... it isn't too loud, fast, and pretty nice.
Though if I had to travel a lot.. I'd probably stick with a laptop.
Why not a cheap but functional desktop that you can expand later and a cheap netbook that you can take with you anywhere? I like the Samsung NC10. When it comes time to replace my laptop, that's probably what I'll get.
