Mac vs asus vs Toshiba?

Okay microsoft fanboys, heres your chance to speak up. Every time I ask about Microsoft vs Mac I get the same answer, everybody always says Mac, (maybe it's cuz the Microsoft users are still trying to get their computers to work) anyways Ive also asked about HP and Sony but everybody says they're unreliable. So now I'm looking at a MacBook pro vs these two brands. I have a two thousand dollar budget. In that price range which of these computers would have the best speed, performance, ease of use, least heating problems, longest battery life, best multitasking, longest life expectancy, life expectancy if being able to perform like new, and best portability. Please answer. Thanks

Could you recover an umbrella?

I think you've answered your own question. It doesn't sound too difficult- you could just stich the fabric down in the same way that the manufacturer has done. I'd carefully cut off the old fabric first, and use that as your pattern.

Unwelcomed Roommate "RATS"!! Help?

Head straight to your local D.I.Y. store where you can pick up ultrasound plug-ins that you leave on an the rats cant stand so they leave. It makes a noise that humans and dogs cant hear so it wont bother your little pooch and it much more humane than any kind of poison or rat trap.

The angel and the christmas tree? animated short film from 1990s?

Does anyone remember a gorgeous animation that was on tv one christmas in the 90s? Most likely 1994-1996. I don't remember much about it as I was quite young when it was on but I remember I loved it and can't seem to find any info on it. It's about a family who are getting ready for christmas but they don't have anything for the top of the tree and somehow an angel comes and ends up at the top and I was remember a bit about the house not having a chimney and the little girl is worried about how father christmas is going to deliver the presents... also remember something about angels lighting the way for santa... very vague memories sorry but hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about! I don't think there was any talking in it either.

Building a foundation?

Build a form around the concrete slab. Lever the edges, making sure it raises the area the half inch on the one side. Buy mortar mix -enough to cover the lower area and raise the entire area a bit for looks- mix it and pour it into the frame around the base. Take a 2 x 4 and smooth the top of the mortar by laying the board across the rectangular frame. The mortar or concrete should come to the top of the form and the 2 x 4 should slid across it smoothly for a nice finish. The board is only used to smooth the concrete and must be removed once level to allow the new elevation to dry. Once dry, remove the wooden frame or form so there will be no need for worrying about wood rot because the foundation will be concrete. Set your shed on the dry concrete and you are ready to go!!!
