the main ingredient in the other nights "iron chef" was angler fish. the thing with the little dangling light and big teeth...

Those would rock but I think they'd bloat from no pressure to keep then in one piece.

How about if we all brought a fish, just one big fish each, and left it in the bathtub.

Preferably a live fish.

I am sure alexis park would love fish in the pool........:D you mean the deep deep sea fish that got lights on em and stuff?

[astcell]

But if it is clear you'll never see it in the pool, like those see through fish.

Ooh let's get some of those fish for the pool!!!!

[ck3k]

I just wanna be able to float around in the alexis park pool with my laptop.....:D

Or dare I not ask?

Am I the only one that automatically assumed that you simply wanted to surf from the bathtub like every other perfectly normal person?

the quest for clear is just because i like translucent technology.

and the water resistant is because of my obsession with pr0n.
j/k :D

No, the entire thing is sealed, not just the case. It's as water-resistant as you're going to get. It can fall into a body of water, open or closed... it's just not suggested to stay there for very long, or to fall very deep (hence water RESISTANT, rather than waterPROOF). So, if you were to say, surf wirelessly from the bathtub, slosh water all over it, even have it fall in for a moment... that is all fine and dandy. If you were walking by the pool and you slipped in with it, again, you're likely to be fine. If your vessel capsized in the deep sea, and you found yourself using it as a flotation device, however, you're not likely going to be getting anymore use out of it. (not to mention, it's not really going to float....)

It's still QUITE high on my "All I want for Misc. gift giving holidays" list. ;-)

Water resistant would be the Panasonic Toughbook. It also has a less popular counterpart, but there isn't a significant price diference that I could find that would justify going with the "offbrand", and the name is failing me ATM. It's also sand resistant, crash resistant, tank resistant... Pretty darn Con-worthy. It's definitely on my holiday/b-day list, in case I have any wealthy secret admirers out there. ;-)

[KeLviN]

does anyone have any idea where i can find a translucent laptop or a water resistant laptop?
