Hooray!

Just finished buying a new desktop :) Okay, so it is not brand spanking new, it is refurbished. But, hey, it was $120 and shipping was free!




Here is what it has:
Intel Pentium 4 - 3.2 GHZ Processor
1 GB (1024 MB) RAM Memory
40 GB Hard Drive
10/100 High Speed Internet/Network Port
High Speed DVD-ROM
and the usual ports and whatnot that come with a computer.
Basically this is the same system of the HP computer that died on me so I am happy with that. I am very happy with the price!
It should be here I figure in about a week. It's shipped from Kentucky by UPS Ground so I'm fairly certain my time frame is correct.

In the meantime, I still have to use this laptop which is kind of slow but still better than nothing. Last night, after fiddling around awhile, I did manage to get the LAN to work on the laptop so the DSL speed is twice what wireless is so that will help too.
I am very happy and excited!!

Still No Desktop

My desktop crashed a few days ago and I have been using our laptop to do the things I need to do online like work my chat moderating shift on a gaming site. I miss the desktop :(
I bought this laptop primarily for my wife because I seem to always be on the computer, day and night, and she wasn't getting enough time to do the things she wanted to do. It's an older laptop with only a half a meg of memory but it works okay for her stuff as well as our daughters stuff. I wish it were faster, but, hey, any port in a storm, ya know?
My wife has hardly used this laptop while the daughter has used it to death. The monitor rarely ever works on it anymore, I think it got youtubed out LOL. At the moment it is hooked into the desktops monitor so I can see what I am doing.
I'm somewhat scared to pull the monitor plug because I'm not that sure it will work on the laptop again when I need to do my shift. Unfortunately I cannot fix the desktop without the monitor. GRRR.
I truly want to fix that desktop though as it has more memory and is a whole lot faster than the laptop. It also has the keyboard that I seem to be better able to type on. This keyboard is not Franklin friendly lol
At least I can get online and do the necessary things, like update my blog, so I am happy enough for the moment.
