    I didn't know Purdue had that much software. I know IUN has a great hookup for free software if you can get access to it. It's almost worth taking a class there to get a student login to the software.

    Another day at work that the bull got me by the horn.
    I almost called the boss to go to the dispensary.
    Hopefully some advil will fix me up. Leaving work now.


    How can people have so much trouble driving? I swear it must be the first winter ever.


    And bra medic, how can you only have 300 posts?
    Snapdragon had that many on her 4th day.

    Anyone know if they still gives discounts for software like microsoft office if you are a student? Im talking about Purdue Cal by the way forgot to mention that...

    Check the bookstore.

    I don't know if PUC does or not. I overlapped 3 years between PUC/IUN, then one year PUC solo, then 5 years IUN. I don't recall buying software from PUC, but I do remember buying office and a copy or twelve of Windows from IUN for like $10 ea.

    Office University edition for $79.95. Session Cookie Check You may have to log in to see this. IF that doesn't work, this might. Information Technology at Purdue .

    Going to look into this thanks!

    There was a lady that would give account access to the website where you can download stuff as a student.
    A lot of the software that was available is super discounted, and sometime free.
    I am not sure if they still have that though.
    I'll get the info for you tomorrow when I go into work tomorrow.

    Thanks as well I definitely appreciate it...i remember sometime ago you could get it for like 10$ but that was probably 06.

    140,000?!

    I built up nearly 10k posts on another forum, but that was over 14 years.

    I don't talk much in real life. At least, not nearly as much as I do online, but damn.

    thats nothing compared to some on there....but the place is a ghost town now

    I'm not much of a talker in person but behind a keyboard i can go on and on.

    I've never had a problem with it running late but then again I typically take a later train for Cubs games

    u have been official disowed by jedi for loving the cubs and worse being one of those fans that ride the south shore during the week while us commutters are going/coming from work.

    :) :rofl:

    Okay, fair enough.

    Would've expected better performance out of a .380 in that size. Early production teething problems? Cheap ammo? Just seems like a really awful 7yd spread. I'm no glock fanboy, but I was pretty interested in this one. Oh well. Back to hunting down the old .380 Beretta I foolishly sold...

    Hey Dan, I put a grip wrap and heavy spring in both of our LCPs and it made a real difference in the way they shot.....

    Short answer: Yes
    Longer answer: It depends on what you're looking for. The bookstore has a brochure listing much of the software available. Oftentimes non-Microsoft products can be found cheaper than the discounts offered through the school, but you have to look hard.

    Its not the recoil, I actually feel that's plenty manageable. I hate the snap of a 380 in a blowback pistol, but with a bigger gun and a heavier spring, its better.

    Its the 8-1/2 mile long trigger and inability to aim the lil bugger.
