New Computer

Well, I finally did it: I got a new computer. It has 3 GB of memory and a 500GB hard drive with an AMD Athlon X2 7550 Dual-core processor (whatever that means.) Unfortunately, the darn thing came with Vista, so hopefully Windows 7 will be better than it. We went to Office Max earlier today and bought it even though I had a stomach ache. This means though that I had to miss my sister's barbecue (that and I wanted to set up the computer.) So after going through all the rigamarole of trying to turn it on (i eventually discovered the power button was on the side of the tower, not on the front like i was used to.) I am still getting used to Vista and Word after years of being used to XP and Works. Word 2007 is very weird, there's no "File" with the usual "print" "save" "save as" commands like everyone was used to. No, they had to go and change it like it needed to be changed. I also figured out how to get on the internet with it. I found solitaire and beat the first game I played with it (which i wish was a good sign but probably isn't. There goes my pessimism again.) Now I have to rip all the long songs I had again and make a new Excel document of my 2600 games. The thing came with a 20-inch flat screen monitor which I am also getting used to. I think the monitor is way too big and long, but it came with the computer so it'd be a shame not to use it. So, i now have a new toy to play with.
