We should just buy that little piece of Canada with our Chinese backed bonds.
What would I be paying for exactly ...define big money!

You said "I'm willing to give big money to the person who manages to get either an overclocking legend or an xip wearing a short skirt and play boothbabe"What would I be paying for exactly ...
I'm asking what do you mean by big money?
IE: How much?

I've done CT to Ann Arbor via Canada and via Penn/Ohio, they're really close in time (I forget which was faster). Driving through Pennsylvania is a drag though, such a long state....and the radio stations on I-80 don't usually last for more than a song or two (not that they're any good anyway)
Going to Detroit is faster via Canada just because Detroit is essentially bordering Canada. Though I'm not sure how much going from NH makes a difference....maybe half an hour? You still have to take I-90 and from where I live in CT to where I get onto I-90 is a pretty short distance.
EDIT: according to Google Maps, Manchester to Ann Arbor is 12:52 via Kings Highway (Canada), 13:24 via NY/Ohio (I-90), 13:51 via Penn/Ohio (I-80, which probably will be under construction anyway). So only 30min extra to stay in the USA, not badNo dealing with the border either, which is always a plus in my book
Price rates are different depending on the quality of the pictures. Also, when I say big money, keep in mind that that I'm a student. Big money pretty much starts from 20 beers a night.You said "I'm willing to give big money to the person who manages to get either an overclocking legend or an xip wearing a short skirt and play boothbabe"

I thought of this as well, but didn't want to critique others travel plans. A friend of mine used to travel between Ann Arbor and Buffalo weekly. He told me it was about 1 hour difference (meaning about 1 hour shorter via Canada). As your stated, for how far you are traveling it really isn't that big of a difference.
Ahh, understood.
When I say big money I'm thinking at least 4 figures to the left of the decimal point and even in US dollars that is enough for me to tackle one of these guys and get him into a dress!
Yes. I looked and I'd just go south once I got to buffalo and around the southern side of the lake.
No passport issues or waiting at the border but maybe a little longer in miles.

Anyone passing through buffalo is welcome to use my pisser
I would suggest going south of lake erie to get to michigan. As already stated its not much more driving time, and the border is usually a mess if your gonna cross here in Buffalo.
Oh, we're talking US currency here ...
ok...I get you one "good retail cpu" and have a free room at my house for you if you came here. Is it a good deal?

Drove NY to Lansing in 9hrs one winter night in '02. It was a Sunday and the cops were probably focusing on staying warm. Anyway, I had to make it back in time for classes and the roads were virtually deserted so I stood on it. I reckon guys could shave 2-3 hrs off those times without even speeding. Just watch out for those state troopers in Cuyahoga County (Cleveland, Ohio), they have the hots for everybody Michigan-bound, football season or not.EDIT: according to Google Maps, Manchester to Ann Arbor is 12:52 via Kings Highway (Canada), 13:24 via NY/Ohio (I-90), 13:51 via Penn/Ohio (I-80, which probably will be under construction anyway).

Barring no unforeseen emergencies I'll be there - just for the opportunity to hang out with legends. Anything else will be a plus.
there will be no zombie clocking by me...and certainly no one getting pictures of itIf you guys can get Jody to a half way sleep trance , he works better on half sleep daze mode
