So I still decided on a Dell, this time I’m getting an Inspiron E1505. The E1705 I had before was too bulky, the XPS M1210 was too expensive. This one’s just right. Hope to have it in a few weeks.

I’m laptop hunting. My hunting grounds are slickdeals and streetprices. I won’t be running anything graphics-intensive on them apart from Adobe Photoshop CS2. Budget is $1,500. Got any recommendations?

I’m publishing my site’s comment policy so people won’t freak out when they can’t find their spammy links comments.

The Do Not List:

• Don’t leave off-topic comments. If you have problems connecting concepts together to determine a post’s topic, then it may be better to not comment at all.
• Don’t engage in personal attacks.
• Don’t provide a fake email address. If you don’t want it known, leave the email field blank.
• Don’t provide a URL to a non-weblog. If you don’t want it known, leave the URL field blank.
• Don’t spam. If you’re thinking about leaving spammy links and spammy URLs and passing them off as legit ones, don’t.

Violaters can expect the following:

• Your comments will be removed.
• Your comments and your commenter details may be modified by yours truly.
• You will get yourself banned from Macalua.com.
• I will contact your Internet service provider.

Now back to our regular SEO programming.
