Alienware are having their annual back to school sale again. There are about 4 days and a few hours left to get little Timmy the machine he will need to get A’s in Fragging Society. That means about $200 to $300 off most of the range of desktops. I thought the Area -51 m15x had a neat school friendly hot swappable hard drive/optical drive bay. Just the thing for swapping some homework files at school with your peers.

My obsession with computerised technology began in High School when the schools first computer, an Apple IIe, arrived. Since then I have remained in the computer telecommunications industry for the last 25 Years, with a small break working in a Deli, while I tried to find myself. Once I realised I hadn’t really gone anywhere, whew! I got my shtick together, got married and sensibly agreed to blow all our savings and move to another country. I lived in London, and a few Months on and off in L.A, for three years. This gave me a great appreciation for history, architecture, philosophy and public transport.
When my wife and I returned to Melbourne, Australia we discovered we had accrued more savings. Obviously we were not doing our part to contribute to National Debt so we bought some land and started building a house. Well designing it anyway, that lasted a while and then we got a new designer, finally construction started and should be finished around October of 2009. It would go a lot quicker if my wife and I could be cured of our Gadget obsession. By day I work full time for an Online Payment company and by night don my alter-ego as a mild mannered reporter.
