From: Gabriele Graves No in fact though the Intel graphics aren't anywhere near as good as the Nvidia, they are perfectly usable if you turn down the settings. I didn't mean to rubbish your choice Amara I was just wanting to give you an explanation for the reason why your Dell did not go as fast as you expected is all. Oh I didn't take it badly- was just clarifying it isn't so bad- I tend to run it not at Ultra of course- but still with pretty graphix. I have bump mapping turned on, high detail for terrain- a few other more visuals i could proly do with out but wd not enjoy as much- this does make me think though that if i turn those things down in some places it might make walking about a tad easier

From: Gabriele Graves Hi Lexxi, I am at Dell.com and I have chosen to customize the Vostro 1710 laptop, there seems to be several options available: 1) 160GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive [Included in Price] 2) 250GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive [add $40] 3) 320GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive [add $90] 4) 160GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with Free Fall Sensor [add $10] Free Fall Protection: Detects free-fall events and takes action to prevent damage 5) 250GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with Free Fall Sensor [add $90] 6) Dual Hard Drives, 640G (2x320) 5400RPM SATA HDD [add $435] 7) Dual Hard Drives, 320G (2x 160) 7200RPM HDD [add $85] If you can afford option 5) then that would be the best option (no need to go dual drive), otherwise next best is option 4). Based on my own hard drive usage, I would not even consider the extra money for #5 and would just automatically go for #4. #5 is an extra $80 for 90 more gb - I just don't have that much on my hard drive - I am currently using 36 gb out of a 500 gb hard drive.

I automatically went for #4 as I was using about something like 48 GB out of 63 GB on old computer.

I agree generally but if you do run out of space, buying a bigger drive later will cost more than $80 plus will require installation and so if you tend to store a lot of stuff or think you might eventually have a lot of stuff then buying larger at the beginning is better and so my recommendation. People who do creative things with GIMP, Photoshop, AVPainter, and other 3D programs will need the bigger space too. I am not sure what usage Lexxi will have only she knows, but everyone is different. EDIT: Nvm, I just read up lol

From: Kaimi Kyomoon As for making money. I'd like to make a lot more than I do. My clothes seem to have a niche - "normal/inexpensive" somehow people keep stumbling into my shop and buying enough things to pay my tier and expenses. If I would put some new stuff out I might even get some repeat business. I make significantly more with my graphic art work but no where near a rl wage or anything.
That is great people are able to find you and all. I think something off with me or just too grumpy because even with endless hours I spend trying to make things numerous uploads,etc to get the items right I am lucky if I ever few months something sales for 50L$. Few of my friends said charge more but I don't get how charging more instead of 50L charging 300L is going to more people to buy thing. Anyway I just keep making things but with all this computer breaking down discussion it makes me hope, wish that computer lives long until I some how come up with the money for upgrade. Years ago when I was 16 in 1981 I was allowed briefly to join probably what is now very archaic now graphic arts program but circumstances didn't allow me to finish my degree. I have always wondered what it would been like to finish but now at 44 I am too ill. I will keep making things regardless if anyone buys from me as long my computer stays alive. LOL Anyway I still haven't slept I am going to bed. Hope everyone finds the inspiration to do something very pleasant, very creative and tons of fun while I sleep, please though don't cover me up with hundreds of prims because I don't want to my dreamland or wake up laggy

Seaking of Hijacking, this was posted across the street, the email scammers have ramped it up. http://www.sluniverse.com/php/vb/zomgwtfbbqgtfololcats/21374-since-when-do-spammers-threaten.htmlI was in tears reading it, it's one of the funniest things I've seen.

It might be even funnier if they sent email to someone who was sucidal but lazy and wrote them back asking them to come visit...or maybe not.

It's like a joke a heard about outsourcing. A guy was depressed and called a help line and learned the call was routed to Pakistan. The person on the other line asked him A. Are you suicidal? and B. Can you drive a truck?
