Travel? Doesn't look like you can fit much luggage.

You don't know how much junk I got in my trunk.

OK Mr. Merrick.

With my Samsung tab broken and my old laptop being too potato to watch HD YouTube while surfing as I noticed in Switzerland, I bought myself a new mobile toy. 

How much?

.....

How much?

About 1000-1100 Euros.

EUR 999.- for the 8GB RAM/256GB SSD version. Normally 1099.-, but The electronics chain had a EUR 100.- rebate for online orders.

It's my first Win 10 device, so I spent an hour finding my way through the settings, disabling all the functions that send usage data to Microsoft.

Yeah, I'm getting use to my first windows 10 machine and I'm quite liking it.

The data switch off doesn't seem that hard and relatively upfront about it, as opposed to the google tablet I was updating for someone yesterday, nearly all the updates seemed to be about google services with data slurping functions.

Random bit of trivia for our American friends, there's a hidden spider on your one dollar bills.

Can't find it.  Give us a hint.

[HVC]

It's on the top right 1 when looking at the side with Washington.

*edit* Bit more then a hint, but still hard to see

[Admiral Yi]

Eyes are too old to see it.

Eyes are too old to see it.

if you google "hidden spider on the one dollar bill" it'll show you where. Different variations of the question bring up different results but this one brings up a blurb and a picture. Google says the spider might also be an owl, but I was told it was a spider when I learned the trivia.

That's not a spider.  It's Charlie Brown's Halloween costume.

USPS is being weird with a package I'm waiting for.  It arrived in SA on Thursday evening, so I was thinking "Cool, it'll be here tomorrow."  Then they sent it to this little town called George West, about 90 miles from here.  Then they sent it back to San Antonio.  Now it's back in George West.    I wonder how long they'll do this for.
