And as far as Office 2013 goes, the PDF editing is worth the price doing the free download.

$175.91 for a high end laptop. YMMV.

Yeah I don't get what that is there.  Because I have no need for a laptop really, but I'd snatch that up for that price if it were legit.  Wonder if a Quadro 3000 would do ok at gaming.

It is almost certainly a price mistake. I did a quick look and it appears to similar to the GeForce FX5900. Some people claim to have gotten that driver to run with the card.

Real but likely a pricing mistake. They ship about 25% of the time. Sometimes you just get a refund, sometimes a refund and gift card.

I ordered one. I have seen cases where if you order more than one you get none.

Hey great deal, if it is offered I'll try it. Good luck finding it elsewhere for less than $1800 or so.

I'm tempted, but I'm worried that they'd see the mistake and attempt to charge my check card the full $1,800 or whatever, which I wouldn't want to happen.

Seems unlikely considering this particular company but I did use credit card just in case.

Any excel experts out there?  I need a function that will calculate something like a win percentage?

That should be a fairly simple formula.  There might be something like that built in actually.

I'm sure there is, but I couldn't find anything in search function and in the basic list they have there, there wasn't anything listed for that.

How are your columns set up?

If A is wins, B is losses, and C is going to be winning percentage, do this:

Select cells in column C that you want to be filled.  Then put in this formula:

=A1/(A1+B1)

Then hold control and hit enter.
