T-Shirt strategy and netbooks

So the T-Shirt strategy goes like this:
* should I buy one really expensive t-shirt, which looks really good at the price of approximately $100-150 like my friend Milan does, then wear it most of the time, or

AppEngine and Enso update

One great thing about me, well one of many is that I would complain but do it. To me complaining is more a question then firm stance.
