Freaking hate Cityrail... biggest POS ever!

Took me 2 hours to get into work this morning... and I had to be in early, so I left home at like 5.30am and only got to work at 7.30am when I needed to be here before 7... if things worked like they should, I should have been at work by 6.45, but no... Cityrail had to do track repairs on a Monday morning... freaking idiots...

Nothing but lurrrve for the Ryobi 18v.

I am pretty damn happy with it for around the house stuff hey!

I have the impact wrench (used it yesterday ) the multi-tool, the fan (it is awesome for hot days working on the car, and a torch (marked it down to $15 so I couldn't say no haha)

Nah dude... no notice for this... none that I know of, coz it wasn't track work, like weekend track work, this was track repair, which should have finished before trains started this morning, but "it was extended infrastructure work"... sucks bigtime... team lead wasn't happy... though he was in later than me... still...

But now I have a 17" MacBook Pro... was from my old job, and it is nice... not such a fan of the OSX, but meh... I could load bootcamp on there and run Win7, but couldn't be bothered for now...

Awesome mate... will be looking forward to some awesome pics of the Land of the Free...

I write it down on paper, then fax it to main HQ, and they type this out for me. I've never actually hit reply before.

ive owned the toshiba for 4 years and its been back a minimum of once per year for repairs. yet my parents have a toshiba and no issues whatsoever. battery life on it was pretty poor to say the least as well. wanted something with decent battery life, enough that i can take it to uni and not have to charge it. im keeping the toshiba though to run my media stuff and keep all my movies/tv shows etc on.

i will probably eventually bootcamp mine and load Windows 7 on it, that way ive got it on there for programs that need to run windows, few of our work programs only work on windows.

Mark - everyone ive spoken to who owns one has nothing but praise for them. must mean they are doing something right i think! battery life was the selling point for me


planning to take many pics from the land of the free!

i wanna go to malaysia at some point too.

Toshiba has been shit for yeaaars.

I don't understand why big companies use them pretty much exclusively for their reps and what not.

Every time a sales person comes out they set up their Toshiba, and they always get a coffee while it's loading up. Haha.

i regretted buying the toshiba

ive barely used the macbook so far and already noticed it just seems to do things so much better than the toshiba, multitasking is done with ease, so easy to switch between apps, everything is set out well. no complaints so far.

even on mine that doesnt have the retina display, the screen is amazing!

I will agree guys... the MacBook pro is quite a powerful machine... mine is 4 years old now and it is still pretty kickass... I do like the screen and keyboard and the swipe gestures are nice too... but I guess I use Windows so much at work and for so long, the OSX is just something different to me, but then again, I don't go home to code, I just use the internet for SC and thats it...

Got too many laptops at home...

I'm running Windows 8 with Classic Shell. It avoids all the stupid start menu stuff. Not a bad interface.
