for the fallen

after a smooth but nevertheless exhausting 7h flight i'm back again in nyc - nyce :)

first thing i did after getting from JFK into town was looking for a retail shop for my long desired ASUS EEE PC 901. unfortunately the only shop (http://www.bhphotovideo.com) having those didn't stock the linux version which comes with some more HD space compared to the XP distribution.

additionally things got worse after i got a 120 $ ticket for wrong parking during my search for another store (and being disappointed at the "best buy") which dropped my mood even more... only after finding the following trainers my state got slowly back into it's happy-mode.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
~ Laurence Binyon

meanwhile i also found a solution for my original problem by ordering my mini notebook directly via amazon.com, eee ez :) on the negative side i still have to wait for monday but at least everything's back on track now so finally i can chill out at the pool
