Two exciting deliveries arrived yesterday. The first was my new laptop. My old machine was going on five years and pathetic at handling all my poker applications. Also the screen was so lame compared to my dual monitor wide-screen desktop set-up. The new computer has a 17″ screen, which will make it a little more awkward to carry than is ideal for a laptop but will make the multi-tabling much more manageable. It’s pretty thin, too, which is sexy. Here it is alongside my desktop set-up:
My poker library is visible in the background of this one:
And the other new arrival:
Hopefully I’ll have a review of Volume I up by the end of the week. I’m out of town until Thursday, probably won’t be updating the blog, but I will have a lot of time for reading and writing.
Would be interested to see what you think of the 2 Harrington books. From what i’ve heard they don’t sound that great.
Will cancel my order if they’re not worth the $$$
Take care

PS. Nice setup
Sweet machine.
I had been looking forward to the HOC books as well, but read a book excerpt from 2+2 and wasn’t overly impressed. We’ll see what u think about it.
Did you get the WUXGA screen for the laptop? I got a new laptop from Dell earlier this month (or late last month?) and it’s great. I haven’t a damned session since I got it but it’s great!
I also ordered the Harrington books from Amazon.ca. They’re telling me to expect shipment May 1st…?!
Let us know what you think of the books. And enjoy the new laptop!
The screen is a 17″ WXGA, not a WUXGA.
Review of HOC Vol 1 should be up later today.
