[NTLUG:Discuss] OT:Looking for good deal on a computer

[Tom Tumelty]

that 990 looks good. I am looking for pretty cheap way out. I think i will
wait till tomorrow before ordering, not exactly sure what i will do. i want
to be semi-mobile (which i have 2 laptops that are mobile)...it kinda a
complicated situation.....i use my Nexus 6 on  cricket  with (unlimited
data and ) 20 Gig high speed data for internet here ( $55/month unlimited
talk, txt, data, i cant beat that). Not very good internet options
available. i need to put a (antenna) tower up to get wisp service,( local
phone co does not offer service 5 miles out of town where i live and only
other choice than wisp is satellite which wont work for me) I live in a low
area surrounded by hills and trees.....cell reception is not great but it
does work.

I have an hp G56 laptop and a toshiba c55-A laptop. I am starting to put
together a home network for some experimenting and hopefully gainful
projects.

Chris, you know Oracle well. Do you know anything of Oracle  ATG ? A meetup
group in Denton I participate in, LittleD OCC,  is planning (free) training
that will be oracle approved for ATG and I hear it is a really hot skill
now and i hear very few know ATG. Hoping it might be my ticket for now.

Have you ever used  http://www.gitlab.com  or http://www.bitbucket.org ? i
am looking for a free site for project hosting. Wondering your opinion of
these.


Man, I would have to pay you for that hard drive which is cool with me. You
been a lot of help to me and I appreciate it more than you know.

By the way, my friend got the company to spring for Oracle 10G at the last
minute.


Thank You,
Tom
