In Topic: Is The Lenovo Thinkpad W520 Available In Thailand?

Order one from the Internet for about 1,500.- USD. Try "Newthinkpads" on Ebay.

No import duty, but 7% VAT to pay in Thailand.

In Topic: Just Begin A Diet

This is not to discourage anyone on a diet, but loosing weight is the very easy part.

Keeping the weight down is extremely difficult without life long changes to eating
and exercise habits.

I have yet to see anyone amongst my circle of friends and acquaintances who has
lost weight and not gained it all back again and some more.

If they are new, can't you just return them? :rolleyes:

Ordered them from the US and sending them back is not a real option.
They are nice boots and I like them, but if I could stretch them a little,
they would be perfect.

Yes, you can store a lot of music on an USB drive, iPod, or hard disk in digitally compressed form,
but you pay for the convenience with a dramatically reduced emotional listening experience.

I would say, modern music reproduction technology has not resulted in a better listening experience in the the last 50 years.
A classic tube amplifier with a power output of not more than 3 Watt, feeding into a pair of old horn speakers driven by vinyl
records, will sound much more emotionally rewarding than a "modern" system.

Those old systems sound less sterile and artificial, naturally warm and dynamic, much more like real music sounds.

So, in my eyes, there is no real progress, only poor music quality, not worth listening to.
