went to turn my laptop on last night and the screen lit up like a christmas tree.Drove to fargo this morrning and it turns out the board is bad where the AC pin hooks up.they said it would be antwhere from 150-550 to fix,well Iam now useing a NEW Acer Aspire 3100......seems to be ok but it set me back 950.00....
I think my Dell knew I got a differant job and wanted to create more hardship for me....[:@].
Well anyway there goes anychance of getting a recurve this year......

Sorry for your bad luck,dont give up,it will happen,that bow will
be there before you know it!

Cant get that V out of my mind......I WILL repeat WILL need to put a recurve in my collection of hunting tools.....

Ranger, what is the word you are avoiding?

Bought my son an Acer "Aspire" 5102 MLMi for $998.

VORTEX is my guess

OK VORTEX THERE I SAID IT....

Reb..This is more computer then I need,if its to much to fix the Dell I will buy the wife the Acer for 799.00..this one 3100is 512 mb and 80 gb witch dont mean much to me....space and speed I guess....
Then I will be the Honey Do guy for the summer,get my deck and patio fixed and thro a vortex in there somewhere.
the 3100 was 899 plus tax.
The nxt one up was 999.00 and would sell it for 950 but I went with the3100 instead.might of been a 5100 series.......?

Forgot to say....Dont think I will put a scope on the Vortex,will try to use just the open sites........one less thing to go wrong I guess.......
