I may be the owner of a couple of fiesta platters. I believe there's a yellow and a torquoise one. Once we're allowed to remove stuff they're yours if you want em.

When I was shopping for my laptop I used NoteBookForums to find coupons and deals.

I second the "netbook" concept. For work/study they are a very good deal.

Oh, very true. I think that it is why it is all the more amusing: because it is so obscure.

Does it not actually stand for Technology Without An Interesting Name?
