New PC and linky coolness

May 16, 2011 12:57

I finally have a new PC, all black and silver! It took so long because Greg held out for a new model that's just been released. It took much of the weekend to set up with my old files and a lot of the stuff I use, but I'll have to buy a new version of Photoshop Elements if I want that, and I still need to reinstall a few things like Artrage. We now ( Read more... )

Hurrah! Can we see a picture of the elegant black and silver PC? Sounds like Avon's sort of computer.

That is an amazing cake.

Everything's black and silver: PC, monitor (which I already had), keyboard and mouse, and yes, it did strike me as very Avonic. However it's called Zen on our home network because I didn't think Avon would want to do what I said. ;-)

I wouldn't want to eat the John and Sherlock!

I wondered about that! ("My food is problematic"-River Tam, Firefly)

It would be cruel.

Yay for new computerage!

Those posters are terrific! Although for some reason, a lot of the text seems to have been cut off in the middle.

Yeah, I noticed that. :-( I would have those posters on my wall, esp the Star Trek ones.

The new puter is wonderful--and fast! I'm still finding my way around Windows 7 and Office 2010 after using XP for years at home and at various works.

Huh! It's amazing how many things have been detected and just work!

Awe, a new PC...I AM SO JEALOUS. Hehe. Good, for you!

My old one kept crashing and having weird errors, and finally it just wouldn't boot. Seven years isn't bad though; it got a lot of use.

I do recommend you get a new keyboard; this one is a delight to use.

Glad you're back!

vilakins May 16 2011, 01:47:06 UTC

Thank you! It's something good after a lot of bad stuff that's happened lately.

Now you have to give the new computer a lucky name!

vilakins May 16 2011, 02:17:47 UTC

It's Zen. Hmm, not so lucky in the B7 sense.

Love the posters :)

New computer--it's like you have a race car now!

vilakins May 16 2011, 02:18:42 UTC

They're great, aren't they!

I'm only limited by internet speed now! :-D
