DUDE...I Got a Dell

My new computer arrived today. It was interesting getting it to connect to the internet, and using this new Windows Vista is a trip LOL. But so far I like it. It's tiny, and I have my monitor sitting on top of the PC (because the PC is rather "flat" with feet on the side of the case as well...so it's clearly designed to lie on it's side...besides that the disk drive is sideways.) It's a much smaller HD than I had before, but I think part of my problem may have been too much power and no idea how to use it/maintain it. So I'm going to try a much smaller system.

 

The new IE isn't bad, I'm not trying Firefox until the bugs are worked out of it. I haven't used Internet Exploder in ages.... :ph34r: but it is very fast on this computer (when I can get the internet connection to work). It's a daunting prospect to try to teach my mom to use the computer all over again with the new Windows Vista...as my friend said "It's pretty"...the desktop background and screen savers are amazing...I can't say one way or the other about the rest of it. But compared to my old lemon this new system literally *purrs* :wub:

 

I had a heck of a time getting it here, I actually ended up making arrangements with my neighbor to sign for it. I'm really glad that worked out though. I haven't tried the new printer yet, I'll save that for another day.

 

Work was very interesting this week, I have to work tomorrow and then I got two days off. I'm feeling a bit burnt out, and my ears are clogged (leftovers from that horrid flu) so I can't really hear. But other than that, I'm feeling quite healthy. The new SubWay at work is causing a lot of heartache for us workers, but I really do think that it is an improvement. Things are looking up. :lol:

lol the only problem I'm having so far is a few complications with the internet connection, and I accidentally hit something on the keyboard when I was almost done DLing my messenger and it made the download disappear. :(

My new printer ROCKS. It makes my camera compatable with Vista, by way of giving me an "in the back door" by sticking my memory card into the printer and uploading the pictures from my camera through the printer. :( It's also a copier, and it makes flippin' awesome scans.

 

I'm a bit upset because of the amount of money my dad spent on my new scanner, which I'll no longer use (unless I set up my old not quite dead comp upstairs for use with my art programs). It makes me feel bad. But I do have a spare scanner.

Maybe Dell is the way to go, then. I am using a seven year old Gateway, and thinking of getting something else.

Ursus!!! Hermes-Mercurius in his capacity as god of communication would be most disappointed. :(

 

Time to upgrade my friend...

 

I have a custom job (at home) that was put together with top of the line components in late 2002 and is already wholy inadequate for the information age...
