Gerk!
So my big reward for passing the bar was a new computer. I haven't bought a computer since I got a laptop in 2002, in preparation for law school. That means I haven't been able to run any of the new games I want to play (Civ4, Oblivion, and GTA:San Andreas). So the new computer is big. Or would be, if it were on time...
I ordered it two weeks ago with a brand-new Intel Core 2 Duo processor. It was supposed to ship last Monday. Unfortunately, it seems that Hewlett-Packard, from whom I ordered the computer, oversold and underpurchased the processors. So I'm still waiting. And waiting. And going kinda nuts.
I ordered from HP because I read they had good customer service, and I'd been driven rather round the bend by Dell's atrocious customer service. And indeed, HP's customer service and has been prompt and friendly as I deal with this. Of course, I still don't have my computer...
At least I'm occupied with something wonderful. Alexander Neil, my nephew who was born yesterday. My older nephew Michael is a sweetie as well.
