Flight of Dragons [Import] <b>DVD</b> ~ Victor Buono
Flight of Dragons [Import] DVD ~ Victor Buono
This is my childhood right there. I remember watching and re-watching this movie that we had taped on a VHS long ago. Many people have movies they deeply moved as children that they could watch over and over without being tired of it. This was mine.

To be honest, the art and animations are miles away from current standards, but the story was good and appealed to young me. The story is more mature than that of most other movies for kids, but in my opinion that just makes it a movie with a wider appeal that you can watch again as a teenager or even an adult, seeking a taste of their own youth.

This is an excellent notebook for the price. I bought it at a discount at 350$ to have a computer I could surf the web on and watch DVDs or videos around the house with. I already had a gaming desktop computer in my bedroom, but I wanted more mobility to be able to use computer around the house or on trips.

The processor is more than adequate for everyday computing and the 4 gig of RAM is more than sufficient for multi-tasking. A lot of notebooks in that price range offer only single-core processors or even netbook processors like the AMD C-50. The only flaw is the weak graphics card, which is to be expected at that price point. So it's not a gaming platform at all, you can still… Read more
