Why do that? It’s a Lenovo (Formerly IBM Thinkpad) running Microsoft Windows 7 (not OEM), i5-560M 2.66GHz (Turbo Boost to 3.33GHz) Dual Core Quad Thread Processor, 8GB DDR3-1066MHz RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 310M 512MB Video, Conexant HiDef SmartAudio, 500GB Western Digital HD, CD/DVD RW, 802.11b/g/n Wireless, 10/100/1000 Ethernet, Built in Webcam, with a Western Digital 1TB External 2.5 inch USB Powered Mini Portable Hard Drive and a 16GB ReadyBoost Flash Drive (Win7 broke the 4GB Barrier). It’s lightweight, compact, portable and supports my On-the-GO mobile lifestyle let alone makes me a lot of $$$. Everything I ever wanted in a laptop and more. (My other laptop is a Toshiba AMD. That one DID have to get replaced)

You missed an excellent conference if you didn't make AffCon 2010 Miami. It beat the pants off of Affiliate Summit. Much more industry oriented. A lot of "former" Affiliate Summit professionals were there. I partied with the organizers too then we watched the Miami Christmas Boat Parade from the back deck of a Doctor's mansion.
