Stardate 20011124.1222 (On Screen): I probably won't be posting much over the next day or so. I just bought a new toy. It's most impressive, especially considering the price. With a 1.06 GHz PIII, a DVD/CD-RW drive, a 30 GB HD, and 512MB of RAM plus a 1400*1050 display, they still managed to bring it at $2000. This is actually the second one; I got the first last Wednesday but it had a pixel stuck on, which wasn't acceptable. So I returned it this morning and got another, and the second one seems to be fine. So there is much to be installed to bring it up to snuff; things like Encarta and Thumbs Plus and ImageFox and RTVReco and PhotoMagic and other things I cannot live without. I also bought a wireless networking rig, and I need to make the new computer ("Spica") work on my LAN. New toys, new toys...
