Where should I go study abroad in Spain?

Madrid, it has much that Barcelona has, plus it has some pluses. It is centrally located so you can get to all of the other areas easily. It is the capital of Spin and that has some advantages. Also if you are going for an extended time, junior year abroad or something like that, you'll have...

GQ 3131 AMD Sempron 2400+ Desktop PC with Linspire 5.0, $149.99 + shipping @ Outpost.com

Ordered one, backordered but should have some in by early next week (supposed to be in by the end of this week, but not a lot of time left). Should be good for an internet machine. Does this use PC 133 ram, and anyone have an inexpensive place to order some? Only 14.98 for ground shipping to New...

Most of my vehicles cost less than $500, usuall $200 or less. I do most of my work myself, so I know what to look for. And I drive over 20,000 miles a year. most cars last over 2 years, but if I get a lemon, who cares. Old trucks are good, easy to fix, and not as much to go wrong. Around...

YMMV is true. Rebate form is valid in only 7 stores. Didn't check where all the stores were, but looking at the instore ad for my area, none of my local stores are included. And I could use one.
