I can't even play DOS games anymore since vista doesn't support full screen mode :laugh:

Vista? Upgrade to Windows 7! Then run it in the XP mode on win7. It's a virtual system built into Win7 for running all that stuff thats too old to run in Win7/Vista. Works like a charm 👍

Sometimes all this stress makes me worry about finally snapping at one of my classmates and yelling at someone or just being rude. Then people will be afraid to talk to me, and it would be just like high school again.

I wouldn't worry about that... I've seen plenty of people snap and no one is scared to talk to them afterward. :laugh:
 
I'd like to upgrade my desktop to 7. I got the free upgrade with my new latop last year, and it's nice. Unfortunately, my current school doesn't have a license with M$ to distribute any of their software, and I can't bring myself to 1) pay $119 for a crippled 'upgrade from Vistar' version or 2) pay $199 for a full install version.

Ah, yeah I used my wife's e-mail address and got it for $29. :S

I guess you didn't take advantage of the student deal microsoft was giving out in 2009 😕 I believe the promotion ended mid-late Jan 2010. Now it's $65... http://www.win741.com/

$30 for a brand spanking new version of Win7. My school wasn't even on the list, all you needed was an .edu e-mail address.



edit: About the upgrade/full install versions, I'm not sure about the x86 versions but all the x64 "upgrade" discs are full copies of Win7. It's possible to install Win7 from scratch with an 'upgrade' disc (at least if you get the x64 version).

My school still uses XP for the school computers.

I know one girl in my class who uses Win7 and she complains about how slow it is. I've used her laptop once, and it's slower than Vista.

Then it would probably be her laptop and not Win7. Win 7 is amazing for my desktop. It kills my laptop so I went back to WinXP.

I think one of the fastest laptops I've ever used was my IBM Thinkpad... but I fried it and it needs a new video card I think.

I have a Toshiba now and it's okay... but I think Dells are the worst that I have used for some reason... maybe it was just an entry level really crappy Dell though.
 
<3 my Thinkpad X41. I really want an X200 tablet but they're sooooooo freaking expensive.

I'm thinking of maybe getting an Asus T101 tablet instead. It comes out at the end of this month in Taiwan.
 
We have 4 laptops in my house... a nice big Gateway multimedia one, a Ferrari performance one (Really hawt, carbon fiber frame ftw), a tiny Gateway LT2050U for my wife @ school (The thing weighs like 11 ounces), and a Sony Vaio that kinda works but is sluggish, so we're giving it to her brother.

That's a lot of laptops.

Four is how many I have used so far :laugh:

#1 got old, so I switched to #2.

I pretty much busted #2, so I got #3.

Then I over-fried #3 with online gaming, so I'm using #4.
 
hey tinkerbell, I hope I didn't freak you out with that PM. I was just telling you few things so you'd understand...
 
🙁 Now I'm a little worried. I see no response from Tinkerbell and I have no idea if she's freaked out by that or if she's just busy.

:slap:Chill. She'll get to it when she gets to it. 👍

Unless you pulled a Ted Mosby. Then okay, she's freaked out 😆

Don't worry your PM would not make anyone even halfway freak out... 😀 I'm gunna write you back soon... I don't like to rush when I write things though if I don't have a lot of time.

I had to hurry up and meet some friends at this Mexican restaurant, but I am going over to this little billiards sports bar place now by my house because it's my other friend's birthday. Be back tomorrow! 👍

I'm the same way. I wish I could do something fun other than study top 200 drugs this weekend.
 
Haven't learned those yet?! Psh, I am disappoint.

... says the person who hasn't learned the top 50.

Jesus, I have to memorize those too this weekend🙁 , only top 60 though. 🙂

Otherwise, it's a cramming non-sleeping weekend for me since I have 4 tests coming up and no time. 🙁


Make abreviations BOB, they'll help you remember, here are a few:

My guy friend made it up actually - Flomax - what do you need when you have a heavy flow ? That's right a tampon ! Generic is Tamsulosin, class - alha adrenergic antagonist, indication benigh prostatic hypertrophy.

Lasix - you get lasic surgery and it goes back - you are furious (generic Furosemide) and you start running in loops ( loop diuretic is the class), hypertension and heart failure is the indication.

You don't want to know what dirty abbreviation our classmate made up about Lexapro and Lexa being a pro. :laugh:
 
Okay well I'm jealous... I've never been to Vegas but I'm excited about Atlanta even though I have a massive exam the next day. No one can take off 2 days to come with me so I'll probably be hanging out in the hotel and saving my money for a cab or the MARTA or whatever transportation I will need to get there. LOL

I think Chebs is referring to my avatar I had a while back... one was far away of me and my stunt partner doing a coed stunt outside the Ft Lauderdale convention center and the other one was me with him and his teammate in their FSU uniform that I put up when they beat WVU in their bowl game.

I'm too chicken to put up an identifiable picture on SDN. LOL I think only one person on here knows exactly who I am from Facebook, but there's a chance I'd actually run into them in real life. I think once I'm actually in pharmacy school I wouldn't be so paranoid anymore though. :laugh:

You won't run into me, I promise. So lets see the goods! :meanie:

I don't see how you can turn escitalopram SSRI antidepressant into a dirty abbreviation :laugh:

Maybe I'll change my avatar again LOL Kind of bored with this one anyway...


Guess what guys... this is why I never go out... I LOST MY 350 dollar CELL PHONE. WOE IS ME.

No more SDN picture sharing of our fridges or cars... I'm buying a beater.

The pharmacist I'm working with today has his under the new format (only like 20% of users have it right now)

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/facebook/7164912/Facebook-makes-layout-changes.html

It's rather confusing.

I see it as a cycle actually.

1) Facebook makes a new layout

2) People complain and make petition groups

3) Users quiet down for a while after getting used to it, and stop complaining

4) Facebook makes plans for another layout and people don't want it changed

1) Facebook does make the new layout

and so on.

That would be fine, except they do a major redesign every six months now. I'm pretty placid when it comes to change, but its starting to annoy me lol
