The New Computer
So I broke down and purchased a new computer. I hadn’t intended to do so, but I got fed up with the problems that I was having with the old one. It is almost 5 years old. In computer years it is beyond middle aged and well beyond plastic surgery.
Anyway, the new one is apparently unhappy with its new home and has spent a chunk of time expressing its displeasure with me and its new home. If I didn’t have this laptop there wouldn’t be a written update, just another session of me screaming into audioblogger.
But I do have the laptop and maybe my frustration will be lessened in the morning. I really didn’t get started working on things until around 7 or so on Saturday night and was relatively tired.
Tomorrow will be a brand new day. There, don’t I sound cheery, disgustingly cheery.

Ezzie,
Been doing a lot of the same. Thus far we are seeing a little progress.
CB,
It is a joy, isn’t it.
Stace,
Thanks.
MGA,
Yea, Yea, Yea. Mac, Mac, Mac. 😉

The first things I did when I had to use a new hard drive: Installed Norton, downloaded Mozilla Firefox, Spybot, and AdAware, and disabled a lot of crappy processes. I haven’t had almost any problems since, a blessing considering what I used to have.
Wow. That’s a heck of a lot of work to get a computer up and running with “almost” no problems.
Truth is, my heart goes out to you Jack (and you Ezzie as well). I mean, can you just even imagine how the productive the entire world would be if we all used Macs?

I just spent half a day fixing my computer when the registry file got corrupt. I’m just as cheery as you are.
