Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

since the netbook takes ddr3 do you think 4gb stick will work?
From everything I read about this model, 2 Gigs is the maximum.

All you folks are such wonderful people - pause- knock on the door -

WHOOPEE WHOOPEE THIS IS MY DAY WHOOPEE - NETBOOK JUST THIS MINUTE ARRIVED - WHOOPEE and this was my day off and I was home to accept it.

I asked the driver if he would have left it with the note - officially 'no', but since he's been on this route for a long time, he would have done so. Other drivers would not.

Anyway, as I was saying, you ALL are very special people to me and after receiving Noobish and your posts about being willing to ship the package to me, my eyes were starting to well up with tears, then the knock on the door. Must've looked a sight to the UPS driver!

Thank you all so very much. You don't know how much you mean to me as I really don't have many friends - one plus my sister - and it so nice to come on here and have conversations, get help, try to help others, and the list goes on.
Wow! That is pretty freaking cool. I'm very happy that happened to you. On a side note: As I was typing this reply out to you...pause...there was no knock on my door and my netbook still has not shown up. =0)

Just make sure anything you order is DDR3 SODIMM. A DDR3 DIMM is for a desktop and won't work on the netbook.
Either PC3-10600 or PC3-8500 are both compatible, with the 10600 being newer and faster. (and cheaper in the case of what I bought and installed)
Thank You!

Just be prepared for it coming sooner than you think. Mine did. From email on 2/2, I got it on 2/7.

My niece gave me a $25 gift card for Best Buy. Will see if they have one of those 2GB cards for the netbook. If not that, then maybe a case.

Quote from rocky08055 :
What a great game last night. Kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end, which is unusual for a Super Bowl.
CONGRATULATIONS GREEN BAY PACKER FANS!!! Groupwave

A man had 50 yard line tickets for the Super Bowl.

As he sat down, he noticed that the seat next to him was empty.

He asked the Packer's fan on the other side of the empty seat whether anyone was sitting there.

"No," the man replied, "The seat is empty."

"This is incredible," said the first man.

"Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Super Bowl, the biggest sporting event in the world and not use it?"

The second man replied, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away.

This will be the first Super bowl we haven't been together since we got married in 1967."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But couldn't you find someone else -- a friend or relative, or even a neighbor to take the seat?"

The man shook his head. "No, they're all at her funeral."
