Cant Keep Quiet! » It’s all about me http://cantkeepquiet.com "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so." - Douglas Adams Fri, 13 Aug 2010 22:25:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 en hourly 1 Blu Ray players http://cantkeepquiet.com/2009/12/08/blu-ray-players/ http://cantkeepquiet.com/2009/12/08/blu-ray-players/#comments Wed, 09 Dec 2009 02:12:23 +0000 Laura http://cantkeepquiet.com/?p=1579 Blu Ray players have come down quite a bit in price so I’m thinking of getting myself one for Christmas. Do you have one? Would you recommend it? Are the streaming options (like Netflix) worth it? Really, really worth it? See, my cable modem is downstairs. I can’t see running an ethernet cable upstairs but I do have WiFi. I’m just not that certain that it is worth the bother or cost (for either one).

We were off to a slow start this year but things have picked up quite a bit.  So far the count is at 86 give or take say 5 that I may have counted twice.

No, we don’t have that many kids in my neighborhood.  Each year we have kids driven in from other neighborhoods.

UPDATE:  The final count was 115.  Definitely the cutest had to be the 3 year old superman twins.

I still haven’t decided if I wanted to keep the dock on the laptop.  If Live Writer works, I just may keep it.

Now I do.  Matter of fact, I’m writing this from one.

I was able to get the WiFi set up by myself as well.  It’s working pretty well considering the router is downstairs and I’m upstairs.  Plus the house is very solid and I often have issues with signal strength for the wireless phone.

All in all, I’m pretty happy with this new laptop.
