Results and New Toy

Planning Add comments

 Results:
Results came in this morning at 7am. I needed around 72-75 and was blown away with 82.30!!! So it looks like I will be coming to University down in Melbourne.

New Toy:
I have been watching eBay quietly for a while now, and picked up this baby for $1450au shipped.

It’s a Motion LE1600 with outdoor display and extended battery pack, also has had a screen protector on since birth so the screen has no scratches which was a good sale point for me.

It needs a bit of a wipe over (wax Crayola marks on the left), an reformat but then it should be good. I am also going to install a 8gb SSD hard drive into it, which will actually be an 8gb compact flash card, the benefits of this are less power, handle more vibration, no moving parts and faster.

I am on my new server so need to fix a few things before I can upload more pics to the gallery but for now here it is:

    Nope, there is actually a funny story there.

    I posted on a tablet pc forum a wanted ad, this guy contacted me and said he had just put one on eBay (10 day auction) but would sell to me outside eBay.

    Anyway the transaction went through and I ended up paying him $1250, but he didn’t remove the auction, it finished a day later at $1500 or something.

    To my surprise the guy still honored our transaction, so I had a bit of a win there.

    Adam, did you see the comment I left on the post before this?
