What would you buy?

Sorry if this is not the best plast to put this post.

why not save the money and put it towards the 14.1" LCD that you need?

Before the mods lock it up, I have a thought. People seem to be able to find a copy of Aconis on ebay for around $20. It's not a flashy buy or one that you'd use every day, but definitely nice when you need it!

I don't think this is a silly thread at all...

You can PayPal the $20 you have sitting in your account to me at the e-mail address in my profile

If that doesn't appeal to you (and I don't see why it shouldn't; double negative here!), schen has a good idea. If Acronis is not available at that price or you do not like/want to use it, try Norton Ghost 2003. It's what I've been using to backup and clone my systems.

Okay, which begs the question...

What are you going to do with the $5.02 now in your account?

bontistic · #10 Post by **bontistic** » Thu May 03, 2007 11:42 am

This will become a long thread I suppose.

Anyway, if you added $11 to you original spending budget, you could have bought a copy of this:

you can always withdraw the $20 in your paypal account to your bank account and get actual $20...

How do you do that? I'd like to know this!

#13 Post by **rkawakami** » Thu May 03, 2007 12:58 pm

There should be a Withdraw tab on the second line of the header. You will have your choice of electronic transfer or a paper check.

I must have been blind not to notice that before! Thanks, Ray!

Press the DONATE button at the top, it will go to a useful cause.....thinkpads.com, keep this place going and flourishing, well into the 22nd century.

This is the BEST suggestion. I gotta learn to be less selfish

#20 Post by **rkawakami** » Thu May 03, 2007 6:23 pm

I was going to suggest that at the $20 level, but I didn't want to sound like a shill for the site

.

#21 Post by **gator** » Thu May 03, 2007 6:24 pm

The remaining $5 will be a good contribution 8-|

SaberX · #22 Post by **SaberX** » Thu May 03, 2007 6:29 pm

OK the DONATE to this site sounds good.

This is a great site with alot of info on thinkpads on here.
I'll be happy to Donate the $5.00 to this site.
Doing it now......

Now lets see someone else put in $5.00....

Or you can upgrade your account by being a seller on eBay, like I did....I now have a PayPal Card (MasterCard), that works like either a credit card or a debit card. I can withdraw money from my PayPal account at any time for a nominal charge WITHOUT having to wait several days for the money to transfer....PLUS I get 1% cashback into my account if I purchase something with the card, as a creditcard....for example...I get paid for something with my PayPal account....i simply use my PayPal card as a credit card to pay for the shipping....this allows me to get 1% cashback, which helps balance the fees charged by PayPal for being a "business" account....
(/end commercial for PayPal...)

Purcy · #24 Post by **Purcy** » Thu May 03, 2007 6:33 pm

Wow, that's great, good job. Imagine, if we all for one or two days saved the money from our cigs (I don't smoke though), beers, coffees, etc and donated $5 to this site - holy cow, Bill would be in like Flint!!

Thanks for that info Steve, I've been a seller for years but never got that Paypal credit card. It seems like it has some awesome advantages.

Purcy,

Good thing you didn't mention "chocolate"

. Nobody better get between me and my chocolate (as Ray pops another Hershey's Miniature in his mouth...).

Purcy · #27 Post by **Purcy** » Thu May 03, 2007 6:37 pm

Well, I do know better; I could steal anything from my DH, except his Hershey's bar; he has them stashed all over the house!

#28 Post by **gator** » Thu May 03, 2007 6:40 pm

If it is chocolate for Ray, it is gatorade for me. I take more gatorade than water

A large part of my monthly savings (not anymore, hehe!) goes into buying gatorade
