That's a definite one, even if I guess most attractions are for bigger kids.

I've wanted to buy a new tele lens for my camera for a long time. Maybe it's time now?

While you're here...
We have to be in Alicante early one morning to catch a ferry to somewhere. Where, within about an hours drive, would stay that'll not be too full of bloody idiots at the end of August?

I don't know that area a lot (it's at 580Km from home).
And neither I've travelled there for work so I'm afraid I can only give you one recommendation:
Benidorm is full of oldies. But is a typical place to go on holidays.
Torrevieja is a luxury residential place by the coast.
I'm afraid I can't recommend you anything else... 
I hope you are taking the ferry to Eivissa... then don't miss Sant Antoni.
And I don't know if you've read about Lloret de mar... Eivissa is much, much, much more than that... usually you can find disco, pubs, party and nice beaches and hotels.

I can see a flip phone in my future 
My 3.5 yo Samsung Galaxy S2 is cracked and a bit insane. So I thought I would shop a bit on my cellphone provider's site. Seriously people - how many of you spend 600+ USD for a cellphone?  Even spending a cheap $240 for a semi-smartphone makes me pucker.
This is baloney. I could expense this against my corporation, but the employee and the CFO is going to have a serious conversation. Hell, that's half a new laptop!

This model[^] already has been in use since 50 years.

lol, but most of it is true. The suckers are indestructible, and since I'm really not that into texting other than sending a wayward child a "where are you?" I'm just having a real hard time spending that much money. Guess I'll wander down to amazon used phone land...
I'm off contract anyway, so I can shop where I want. I think i can convince myself to spend up to $200. Even so, that flip phone for $25 has the second highest ratings. lol

I have separeted buying a phone and the plan. So I can search for the biggest deals for me. So I picked the Nexus 6 when it was new. 
Best value provides Huawei and LG. Take a look at the Nexus models from them, to see what is possible.
Press F1 for help or google it.

Previously about $480 of the phones price was added to your monthly bill at a rate of about $20/mo; and then after 24 months they just took the $20 you were still being charged and used it to pay executive bonuses.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

My current hi tech phone is sitting at home on the arm of the sofa where I left it last night. I never forget my laptop.
Besides I'm more into drones and rifles.

Now in Windows 8 it's even more frustrating since its only half broken!
Making it even more frustrating, you think it's gonna be helpful, you wait....
well if you got more than 1 potentially relevant results... it's a total mess to use.... 
I fall into their trap, I click on open in new window!
But my hopes were soon crushed... it doesn't show the location, the location bar says....
Search Result > A file
You dip sh*t...

It is quite amazing you can search the world (Internet) easier than you can search your own desktop.
I use c:\>findstr /I /S "text"
(ignore case, search subs)
if searching for file with certain text.

There's a certain outgoing IP number, where if blocked via firewall, will result in you not being able to surf the net at all in later windows versions. The call is originating from the explorer process or other assoc modules.

I am not a big fan of command lines! 
But perhaps I could write a shell extension? Mm....

I ended up getting so frustrated with it that I wrote my own contents search that used one thread per CPU core and one for the GUI. Was much faster than the windows search (that didn't work anyway).

Ultra File Search Lite. Done.

|

Hey! That was shorter than I anticipated!
|
|
|
|
|
Thats why I wrote my own search tools and disabled theirs.
|
|
|
|
|
As an alternative to the other suggestions I'd like to add Total Commander[^]. The search abilities are outstanding, plus you get a whole lot of other stuff as well. Synchronizing directories, ftp client and a Multi rename tool are among the things I use.
