Nothing like a new machine to remind you how crappy your old one is/was. Yep, we finally got our new machine. $614 dollars later we have a clearance model Compaq. (Funny thing, I seem to remember declaring I was never going to purchase a Compaq ever again!) XD
- 512 MB Ram
- 200G Hard drive
- AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3300+ running at 1.81 GHz
- Windows XP Home
- 9-in-1 Cardreader
- CD/RW and DVD-ROM
It’s nice, though it’s loaded with crap we’re still trying to delete. Most of my J-Rock and MP3 collection is still trapped on my old machine, with no real way other than e-mail or transferring via my domain (bandwidth = ouch!). I never realized how clunky my old machine was and how slow it had gotten until I began working with this new machine.
Just finally got myself registered for classes; the college sat on some issues long enough that the classes I wanted to take were full. lol Now I somehow have to come up with an extra $200 next semester to pay for my extra software. XD I should be happy/grateful this is all I have to be worried about! I mean, really, this means I get to play with Dreamweaver and Flash sooner than I expected. Though I really wanted to purchase some upgrades to this beast to push it up over the 1G limit for RAM and save the extra software purchases for later.
Anyroad, I have most of my software transfered. (Including my Chrono Trigger sounds / Mouse pointers. lol My system just seems naked without them.) I forgot to transfer my diabetes logs over, so I have that to do yet. I think I’m going to price Flash sticks so maybe I can transfer my MP3s and the rest of my junk over; and then maybe back up my Homework once that’s done. It’s a thought.
I’m going to try to make the blog rounds today before the next round of homework begins coming due. *glomps* Sorry I’ve been so disconnected.
