my current computer is about five years old...it's an hp pavillion 520w ... i love it...but, it's been acting up a bit lately...a little over a year ago, it's hard drive crashed -- totally -- and i lost like, pretty much everything....i had a 40 gig hard drive...
my uncle gave me a new hard drive which was an 18 gig...about half the size, but he just *gave* it to me and put it in for me and everything...and, it was free...so i really couldn't complain too much...
by the time i got windows XP put on there, it had 12 gigs free...a little over a year later, i'm down to about two gigs free, and it's starting to show signs of old age...
....
so today i did something slightly crazy...i went to mexico and got a new computer...
not mexico the country...(that would be funny, though!) ... mexico, maine ... it was about 62 miles, so 124 miles round trip....
...
i got an hp slimline s7410n .... it's got one gig of ram (quite a jump from 256!!) ... and a 250 gig hard drive...a dvd rw....and a multimedia center thingy...and uhm, a bunch of other stufff...
it's still in the box...i'll take it out tomorrow and play around with it, after i figure out waht i'll do with the stuff that's on my hard drive now...(i'm halfway through my semester here, i've got class stuff that i will need to transfer and things...of course, i do have a 512 MB jump drive...so if i could set my old system up in the bedroom upstairs, i could rather easily just move whole folders at a time, and save a lot of time and blank cd's!!...)
...
so, that'll be an ongoing project, i know...
at least now iv'e got something to do this weekend... :-)
...
after my mom & i got home we had supper and i went to visit a friend of mine and we caught up on things...we hadn't seen each other in a while, so it was very nice to visit with her...
....
i guess there's not too much else going on...
i'm sure i'll have lots more to talk about soon enough, though!!...
...
happy weekend to all,
