Yes!! Surface Pro for Me! :-)

March 2, 2013 By Robert Owen

Ok. After much complaining and whining, I finally got my Surface Pro. My purchase plan had to update a little, but everything seemed to work out nicely.  I had planned to get the whole package from Best Buy but, if you read my previous crazy rant. You know that didn't work out. I ended up watching the Microsoft Store website like a hawk and on Feb 16th, they showed up as available for order again with a projected delivery of March 1. Click! Went my order.  But, just for the tablet. I … [Read more...]

No Surface Pro for me :-(

February 9, 2013 By Robert Owen

I've been looking at getting a Microsoft Surface  and was on the fence until they announced that there was a 128GB Pro version that was capable of running full desktop applications.  When I saw that, I had to have it! I've been waiting and watching for the release date of February 9th to come around.  This device in all it's glory would only be available from 3 locations;  The Microsoft store, Staples and, Best Buy.  None of these retailers offered the ability of pre-order so, I just had to … [Read more...]

Cool Video: Bird Attacks RC Plane

June 15, 2009 By Robert Owen

I'm a big fan of RC (Remote Controlled) Airplanes, Helicopters, and cars. I don't have any right now but, I've been looking at Helicopters and think I may want to give that a whirl. ;-) - sorry about the pun. I did, however, get my nephews a couple of really sweet/fast cars for Christmas this past year. I think with the engines installed these little cars could get up to 30mph! Very cool indeed! Well, we were looking at adding a camera to the cars so you could see their speed from the car's … [Read more...]
