Hey thanks for the info Pug-san!

I've been looking at HP and they seem real nice. I HATE Dell, hahaha! My 1st one was an HP but the AC plug in area on the laptop died. It got fixed and died again one mo. later, and I gave up. That was 2 yrs ago. Still have it. It's about 5 yrs old. What do you think of Asus? Not going for Macs. They look nice, but they are behind PC's. I want a desktop but space is a prob. A 20 in. screen or bigger is appealing! Know anything about quads vs. dual core? I don't know what to get... Thanks! Sorry so late. I'll try to get back to my parent's soon to see your reply. Kaoru

Oh geez... I'm REALLY sorry... I've been on a "I hate typing on my pocket PC" binge for the last month or so. I just spent more than 10 min. typing a short Visitor msg. to Eastman-sensei who left me dojo info, and I'm now sick of this... I just wanted to surface and let you know I didn't forget. I'm now looking at new computers and geez, I'm confused... I don't know what brand to buy! (I know I hate Dell.) So many options available too... Ugh... I now dunno which is worse: using this pocket PC or looking at different brands and models of computers! hahaha... Anyway, can you hold out a bit longer? Sorry... I feel guilty now...

Hi again!

I actually have that Kumdo dojang for you-and it is KKA, so I can give it, and one other legit kendo dojo. But, I need to look at a map first to see if they are even near you. Thanks for giving me your location. I'll do all that tomorrow.

Anyway, your parents are crazy for complaining about driving only 20 min. to the dojo. Wanna trade places? Your mom can drive you 2 1/2 hrs to my dojo(then she'd really have a right to complain.) and my mother would be MORE than happy to have only a 20 min. drive! She's not a fan of kendo either... She also hates the long drive(Can't say I blame her though. It IS a long drive. And, it can be dangerous in winter.) and won't take me herself anymore, so I rely on a friend who doesn't do kendo, to drive me. I pay her gas money in exchange. So, your Mom should be happy not to have to drive so far. Geez, 20 min away is nothing. I'm so jealous! >_< I wish I was that lucky. Sigh...

Hmmmm... I'll see what I can do. I know that that's the only AUSKF kendo dojo in Dallas, but there's also a kumdo dojo just South of the area(Can't remember offhand where.), from what someone has told me. I think it's KKA though, which is legit. I'll have to check. I won't give it if it's not.

What town are you in? And, what direction? Also, how far is the drive to your dojo and how often do you go? If it's an hour or less, they ought not be complaining, because my dojo is a good 2 1/2 hours from me one way, so I can only go once a month. It's better than no kendo at all...

Hi Pug-san!

Anyway, yeah, I've got e-mail but fat chance on me replying to that, too at this point. I don't like doing e-mail on my pocket PC. Using mobile Yahoo! is annoying. If I had a working PC, I'd have no problem w/it. Oh well... Sorry. Let Best Buy fix the fan?? I dunno... The last time I had a problem, they screwed up everything. I've got other places to call, so I'm going to get some quotes to see who can fix it the best w/out paying a fortune for it. I at least want to be able to transfer files when I finally can buy a new computer.

Hi Pug-san!

How are you?? Yeah, long time no see. Anyway, my box is full of 50 pm's I haven't even replied to. Too difficult and annoying to do that on this stupid pocket PC thing. My laptop's fan died in July so I've been w/out, forever, it seems. So, I'm really sorry... I'm not even sure where you'd get a new fan put in. I don't trust Best Buy. They ruined one computer I had, and then another time, deleted all my e-mail and files when told not to. So... Dunno what to do. I might just get a new one. I do need an updated one that actually will play DVD's, upload video to e-mail from home DVD video and play games besides the important stuff. Well, thanks for your message! Wish I could free up space! Kaoru
