I have really bad allergies. I take a Claritin every morning as well as two sprays of Fluconase in each nostril.

Today I forgot to take the Fluconase so the pollen is getting to me more than normal.

It's really for everything. For me, I really only need it for data logging and maybe some work if I don't feel like sitting at my desk. I'll also use it for viewing GoPro footage and doing some light editing (like when I'm at ZDayZ this May). My girlfriend uses it for work and school as well.

The 14z is the thin and light one. Not as thin as the XPS 13 ultrabook (which I want) but more powerful and practical. I didn't get the souped up one. The specs are:

Core i5-2450M - 2.5/3.1 Ghz, 3MB cache
8GB DDR3
750GB 7500RPM HDD
Intel HD 3000 onboard gfx

Its pretty quick and does everything I need it to do. Looks real nice too. Compact and fairly light (under 5lbs). Got it for $899.

P.S. -- Good Morning, Misters

P.S.S. -- Fantastic tire!

my buddy has terrible allergies (needs prescription drugs) but he moved to socal 12-13yrs ago and ever since everything cleared up for him. the dry air and the plants that grow in LA are different. no needles, no pills. nothing.

i should move back to LA someday. palos verdes here i come again...

Good looking stats there too, almost like a gaming computer. How is the Core i5? Haven't read much about it yet.

P.S. Morning Gentlemen!

and i run the free Office software called LibreOffice. works great with my docs made on my pc too.

i didnt get the air cause i use my MBP for my music. i took out the optical drive and replaced with a 7800rpm 512G HD so my computer has dual drives inside. i can still use the optical drive externally to watch DVD's burn discs, etc.

yes but with i7 your looking at probably $1000+.

Exhaust update got a few more bolts/knuts off, just one left! I think this knut is stripped though. I'll try a 12 point socket tomorrow. hosed it down with pb blaster and will see what happens.

I lied in an earlier post when I stated that I was done modding. I totally forgot about the purchase I made from Z1 last November during their Black Friday sale. In a box in my garage, that is prominently marked with the Z1 logo, resides the upper and lower radiator hoses as well as two overflow hoses -- in the far-out, groovy red silicone. I will get around to installing these in a couple of weeks (240z work is on my plate this weekend).

I have a question for you, Mr. ZMan8 -- are you performing a radiator flush at the same time as you replace the hoses? I am curious. I am going to replace the coolant when I do mine.

When I want to play games... I have a special rig for that.
