New Computer Yay!
Jan. 3rd, 2008 07:54 pm*points at subject line* This was one of those things that was way up on my holiday to-do list, and it's finally been achieved. ^_^ (Ye gods, it's going to be nice having a machine that isn't so out of date that running three firefox windows and Word at once can slow it to a crawl) I'm still in the middle of the long process of re-installing everything, and things could have gone a whole lot smoother up to this point. Which is to say that we wasted a whole evening yesterday failing to convince the thing even to install Windows and finally had to take it back to the shop to get it fixed up just to clear that first hurdle.
The upshot was that I wound up spending most of a whole extra day without a working computer beyond what I'd counted on (I'm sure most of you will know only too well how traumatic this can be). On the upside though, that did mean I got a good part of my room cleaned out at last, started a new pipe fox (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sansele? This would be yours, for the record. ^_~) and turned out an extra 2000 words on Ghost Stories, so maybe there's another message there about separating myself from my computer a little more often. ^^;
