The Dell Latitude D630 exceeded all my expectations -- and I am an extremely demanding computer user

it came with a 1.8 duo-core processer and only 1gig memory and 60 or a 80 gig harddrive with win vista busness,, 
ok for entry level but, 
i turned up the onboard video memory to max and jacked up the memory to max level of 4 gig pc2-6400 and added a faster processer T-7500 duo-core 2.2 and bought extra hardrive caddys for a switchout of the harddrives,1 came with it has vista on it ,1 has a 250 gig drive with xp on it and the other has a 620 gig drive with windows 7 on it and bought an extra drivebay caddy (put a 1 terbyte harddrive in it) that goes into the slot where the dvd burner goes and can swap out the dvd burner for the 1 terabyte harddrive when i need to save large files. 
also have a floppy drive that can be switched out for the dvd burner if needed. 
and can swap out the windows system harddrives by taking out 2 screws ,takes about 2 minutes/less from shutdown to boot back up.. 
i saw on ebay where they was some T-7700 2.4 duo-core processers for it also,,might upgrade it some more later on..

almost forgot ,changed out the onboard wi-fi card from 802:11b/g (54mbps) to faster 802:11n(300mbps) wireless . 

not much else you could want in a laptop if you take the time to do the upgrades to it..good luck with yours, i love mine after i did the upgrades..

Danelectro N-10 Honeytone Guitar Amp

The vintage blackface fender vibro champ is a unique, lightweight gem. The vibrato is rich, and luscious sounding. These are low-watt treasures that are perfect for recording, keeping stage volumes manageable, and jamming or practicing around the house. They are ok on their own for very small gigs, and are very useful miked when a bigger sound is needed out front. The trend these days is to play low-watt amps that can be pushed a bit. Most venues can't accommodate the beastly loud amps that many guitarists used to think they needed, only to be told repeatedly: "Turn it DOWN!" Your soundman, bandmates and audience will thank you.

The circuit is fender's only Class-A circuit. All of their other combos are Class-AB. Class-A amps are prized for their single-ended tone. Mesa Boogie and many boutique manufacturers go to great lengths to make Class-A amps due to the rich sound produced. This is not to say Class-AB amps are inferior-not in the least. But the tone and responsiveness/feel are different.

Like most vintage fender amps, the tone is beautifully clean up to around vol 4-5. The tonal character of these amps is very rich, because of the circuit, and also because of the 8" speaker. Interestingly, the 8" speaker rolls off a bit of lows in such a way that the guitar sits in the mix perfectly without clashing with the other instruments. Replacing the speakers with modern upgrades can further increase their versatility at minimal cost. Jensen and Weber make very inexpensive 8" speakers.

When you increase the volume beyond 5 you get an additional beautiful grit that is very touch sensitive. When you crank these amps you realize why these were used in the studio by Clapton so often. This is a very expressive instrument.
