WoW installation

[ursuscelticus]

Spent the evening getting my laptop configured. Blew up after installing the virus program. Had a hell of a time troubleshooting that. Finally reverted to the last known good system restore and that fixed it. Like a dummy I installed it again - yup, the virus app was the problem. Did the system restore again and have decided to leave it alone for

After tonight's showing of X-3 and dinner afterward, I expect I'll be doing the WoW thing on my new compy too!

I'd be onnit all day Saturday too 'cept I have D&D.

Sunday should be an all-day affair though, make no mistake!

What's the first instance you wanna go through?

Edit: Sunday is Serenity Sunday! How could I forget! I'll be running Serenity from 1-5 (plus perhaps BBQ).

Monday could be BBQ instead, but otherwise it's D&D as per normal for the evening.

All this gaming is cutting in to my gaming time!

Good question. Hmmm - Strath maybe? I don't really know much about them other than what I sort of picked up from here the rest of the guild talk about them. I know I don't wanna start off with any 40-person raids, though. I need to ease into this slowly...

And P.S. Come over to the Macintosh side!

When I opened my new compy, it asked me what language to use and then asked me if I had a Mac I wanted to transfer stuff from. I did! It said to connect a firewire cable twixt 'em and then started the transfer. Then it was time for The Da Vinci Code.

When I got back home, everything was done and everything, all my account settings and passwords and apps and everything, are all just like they were on the previous machine, with new stuff on the new compy there too!

Effortless!

Just like it's supposed to be!

In the future!

Wow, Macs come with WoW pre-installed and patched? The future rocks!

[mysticalforest]

It's true!

P.P.S. Have you had a chance to tool around yet in Azeroth on your new compy?

Oooh, my. What a difference decent graphics make! I can always see the ground when I fly and see the island statue just off the dock in Booty Bay and gosh, the glows and effects and stuff!

Marvelous! It's like a whole new game!

[ursuscelticus]

oh yes! First thing I did was hop on a gryphon to Ironforge so I could see what it *really* looks like to fly into the city. I saw parts of it I'd never actually seen before! Neato!

what was the virus app?

[ursuscelticus]

eTrust. It's required to connect to the corporate network. I ended up calling our help desk folks and they managed to help me get it working properly, so everything is a-ok!
