Barack Obama Wins US Presidency 3709

Last night, around 11pm, all the major networks announced that Senator Barack Obama had won the election. Soon after, Senator McCain conceded. There were no crazy partisan court hearings, just a simple election. This is your chance to talk about it and what it means for the future of our nation.

A word of caution of people looking at this laptop. While I absolutely love mine, and it runs anything and everything I've tried to throw at it (seriously, even the bloated port of Guitar Hero 3 runs at 1900x1200 at full settings 60fps!), the power adapter died on me *12* days after getting the laptop.

I'm chalking it up to being extremely unlucky, but Gateway is now dragging their feet sending me a new one. I sent in a request Friday, they told me 3-5 business days and I'd get a confirmation email. No email came, so I emailed again Saturday. Same thing: 3-5 days. Today? Still no email, and now I'm getting angry. I'm hoping for a quick fix, but it's looking bleaker and bleaker.

But don't let me sway you. The laptop, when it works, is amazing. It doesn't run hot, I get 2 hours of WoW full settings on a full battery (brightness on low), 3 and a half at desktop. It's a REALLY nice machine, I'm just bummed that I had a bum power adapter.
