My Computer Died

Thursday night, I went to Best Buy on a computer eye-buying expedition just for kicks. Last night, after returning home from work, my computer would not turn on.

Today I bought a new computer, my first since September 2004. It's high-falutin' compared to the old one:

• Old
• MS XP
• Office 2003
• 3000 AMD Athlon processor
• 512 MB PC2700 DDR SDRAM memory
• 160 GB 7200 RPM Ultra DMA hard drive
• DVD+RW/CD-RW 8x with CD writer capacity
• CD-ROM 48x max speed
• 64 MG shared video memory
• front 9-in-1 card reader
• New
• MS Windows 7
• Office 2010
• AMD Phenom II 1045T Six-Core Processor
• 8 GB DDR3 memory
• 1 TB hard drive
• Blu-Ray player & SuperMulti DVD Burner w/ LightScribe Technology
• ATI Radeon HD 5570 Series graphics card with 1 GB DDR3 dedicated graphics memory, DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort capabilities and support for Blu-Ray and MS DirectX 11
• Front panel 15-in-1 memory card reader

Bear with me as I get accustomed to this one and try to get the data (IMAGES!!!) from the past two months sucked off the old one.

The blog might suddenly skip a couple months depending on how this works out.

One thing I've noticed straight-away is how much nicer this monitor (purchased a couple years ago) works with this new computer vs. the old one. SO VIBRANT and websites actually look normal. There will be some change to Smells.
