"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I am going away to school and I need to purchase a laptop. I need something that can run anything a management student will use, as well as p2p software, movies/music player, AIM, and possibly world of warcraft (and games with equivilant requirements).

I have 1500 to spend on a laptop, accessories (a mouse, any external HDs I will need, ect), and software (the basics). I have looked into macs and I like them a great deal - they seem like workhorses. The idea that they are less prone to viruses and more seemless (software/hardware) is apealing. But I have no idea what kinds of system requirements are needed and how much is a good price to spend on that system?

I have looked at their website and visited the store, but 2nd opinions are more than welcome - especially those comparing mac and pc laptops!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Ok

For your general purpose use, and the budget given, I would get a PC. You can get more bang for your buck.

Macs are infinetely nicer to use, look at, and are just more stable.

But since you aren't dealing largely with graphics intensive (and not to mention stability dependant) programs, it would be overkill.

Go the PC.
