    It seems kinda pointless for them to be repeating and just talk the whole time, either they should be trying to learn, or realize they know whatever percentage from last year so why bother turning up, just study the hard ****.

    Also, you know what grinds my gears, people who say "gets my goat" Wtf? Also the lack of commons rooms/couches down the science end, GMB is miles away. I want to be lazy, and walking to be lazy just seems wrong. Is there some secret couch-ful (new word, take note) place I'm missing?:(

    I'm in third year now, believe men, graphics is piss easy in the exam, and Vij's tutorials make sense so just learn them!! And nobody give the lecturers any respect in first year Engineering, paper airplanes galore along with other stuff!!!

    It's true, if you've done Tech. Drawing for the leaving then you'll easily get 80%+ in graphics

    This week is generally bad for me. Given that I've just messed up my left elbow doing a shoulder press, I may be available free this thursday. Tbh I think next week is probably your best bet, have it on the thursday and I'll just arrive late.

    I can get a touchscreen kit for the MSI Wind that would fit my 1000H. Boston, what would it cost me for you install it? 3 pints? =P [After completion!]

    I'm just a tad over qualified to do it. If you buy a solderless kit I'll give you a hand installing it in one of the electronics lab for the craic. I take no responsibility for a broken eee pc though.

    Edit, jsut saw the make there, are you sure there's a proper kit available. Linky?

    It's an Eee
    1000H

    I can't afford it right now, but whenever I get my hands on one I'll let you know. I'd link you to the touchscreen mod's thread on forums.msiwind.net but the tubes seem to be clogged.

    Actually, I have the URL, I just can't get access to the page myself- blaming ISS.

    Ah yea, I've read through one for the 901. That seems straight forward, even the soldering kit looks grand. I imagine the problem with come from trying to open the case.

    Well considering how often I had to explain the difference between 5Vs and GND to the first years last year, you people shouldn't be allowed computers.
