i.e. the same as the last spec I posted on page 4 of this thread apart from Win8 instead of Win 7, and with added fast track

 

[kruppsy]

Vey nice.

 

[DeadEyeDuk]

decided I couldn't cope without the fast track.

Mwahahahahaha

 

[Boozad]

Great spec. Where's the photos?

 

[moosEh]

its not even been delivered yet!

 

[Boozad]

I knew my sarcasm was rubbish.

 

[Blackdog]

Awesome machine Rakk. Glad you went for windows 8?

 

[Rakk]

Dunno yet I will have to see what its like when I get it

 

[tom_gr7]

can you set up a live feed for the unboxing?

 

[Rakk]

can you set up a live feed for the unboxing?

No, for a start I'm camera shy. and secondly I wouldn't know how, and thirdly I'm probably supposed to be actually working when I'm working from home that day

 

[tom_gr7]

lol, hahahah... ok pics it is then

 

[Rakk]

Well, fast track ftw It's in building already, and yes, my F5 key is already hating me this morning

 

[moosEh]

Haha I checked with our Fraud team to see if it had been caught up in that department... no such luck

 

[Rakk]

Awaiting dispatch now!!!!!!
I'm not going to get much work done today or tomorrow me thinks

And a mouse and keyboard now borrowed from work , since I don't need new ones, but a spare is always useful when moving machines as I will inevitably forget to copy some stuff onto my external hard drive

 

[moosEh]

Ill go stop the dispatch im sure we have not tested it enough

 

[Rakk]

Ill go stop the dispatch im sure we have not tested it enough

To be honest I wouldn't mind it getting delayed it is was for more testing (well to a certain extent)
Though this morning was an oddity, I am actually sat here grinning on a Monday morning

 

[tom_gr7]

Ill go stop the dispatch im sure we have not tested it enough

Check out that customer service.... extra free testing...

A rather expensive but effective cure for Mondayitis

Might wear off after a few weeks though...mainly due to you not being able to pay for a house or food
