    Well I ordered my computer (ASUS G50Vt-X2) the Sunday before Christmas and it arrived at my house Monday. The kicker? I left for Tampa, Florida the Sunday before it arrived. I am here in Tampa, Florida for the Outback Bowl (Iowa Hawkeyes vs. South Carolina Gamecocks) so I can watch the Hawkeyes destroy the Gamecocks. [GO HAWKS!] But anyway the anticipation of getting home is just absolutely killing me because I want to open up my UPS shipment and start crying at the beauty of the laptop. =D Just wanted to see if anyone has any.... anything that will make the time pass faster =) And no I will not take a heavy 1 1/2 day sedative.

    I think we've all been there before :) Hmmm... things to make time pass faster? Try going out for a movie, dinner, or drinks with family/friends. Stop by a barnes and noble store, grab a few magazines/books and just chill at the starbucks there (I do that very often ;) ). Maybe reading a few G50 reviews on the forum may help too? :p

    Oh trust me I think I have read every single review on the internet. I would just like to declare here and now; I'm obsessed. Yea I am here with family and I will need a book for the 5 hour plane ride back to sunny Southern California so the barnes and noble sounds like a good idea =D Thanks!

    Any other suggestions? Formulas for time machines?

    If you've read all the reviews, you can always download the manuals from the Asus website and read them cover to cover :p

    potentv I quite honestly feel sorry for you. Although you should feel good knowing if I was in your situation, people would've been going to my funeral rather than a new years eve party. I'm going to try to stay undesperate enough so I don't end up reading the manual before I even see the computer, who reads manuals anywayz!?

    You could read the disassemble guide... that's always more fun than the manual~!
