My Saturday

love kiss
Last night I went to bed around 8 pm and today I finally got out of bed around 8 am. That's about 12 hours of sleep.. and sometimes we just need it.

Saturday I spent cleaning, disassembling my old computer, and assembling my new computer equipment. I don't have time to learn how to make one from scratch and am weary of my abilities to have reliabile functions of all the computer so I bought my computer, flat screen, printer from Fry's with a warrenty. I'm glad I bought a warrenty because the keyboard that came with the main PC doesn't seem to work entirely.

So this is what I got:

HP m7330n with AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core rocessor 4200+ 984 MHZ, 960 MB RAM



HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7330n PC


  • AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 4200+; 2.20GHz

  • Windows XP Media Center

  • 1.0GB PC3200 DDR SDRAM memory 2x512mb for ultimate performance); expandable to 4GB

  • Integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Graphics with 256MB shared video memory

  • 250GB 7200RPM Serial ATA hard drive [gigabyte is defined as 1,000,000,000 bytes, accessible capacity may vary]

  • DVD SuperMulti Drive with LightScribe technology and cd-writer capabilities

  • DVD-ROM

  • 9-in-1 memory card reader, 2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 FireWire (IEEE 1394) port, microphone/line-in/line-out, Composite Video, S-Video, and Audio Inputs

  • Integrated 10/100Base-T network interface

  • TV tuner (NTSC) with personal video recorder and FM tuner (antenna included)

  • Integrated audio, 6 speaker configurable; up to 5.1 surround sound capabilities



I also bought my first flat-screen monitor a 17 inch NEC


And I got a good deal on an Epson Stylus CX4200 Inkjet Printer r



  • 48-bit, 1200 x 2400 DPI scanning
  • PC-free black-and-white or color copying
  • Up to 20 ppm black text and up to 19 ppm color printing
  • prints directly from PictBridge-enabled digital camera's
  • up to 5760 x 1440 optimized DPI printing


    • My internet and LAN between my new pc, old pc, laptop is all hooked up and working great with file sharing and the shared printer access. I will have lots to learn and play with the new equipment

    Since you were the main person annoying gently cajoling me into attending college, I think you should know about this.

    And now, I vanish. *poof!*

    hey
    I'm so proud of you and that you are using your talents, because it would have been such a waste if you didn't. Now you can go out to the big bad world and make a difference, a contribution, maybe a new artistic flavour to the world. Education and skills is the key to survive. Are you going to take a job, do graduate school, or both? I have been thinking about you and I were you with all that artistic talent and smarts, I'd be like in Hollywood doing animation or movie effects, cause wouldn't that be exciting?

    Anyways, Joe's been on my case about what happened to us when we had a fight when I was breaking up with Rich. He's got a point. I've been too stubborn to come out and make the first suggestion that we forgive and forget it. If you are ever in Illinois or do you drive now? If you don't, *POKE* get your license, now!!! Anyways, come visit me and my humble apartment and two kitties. We will go to Woodfield mall shopping!!! (Ever been there?)

    Remember when you said you thought it would be awesome to commute and work downtown? Are there graduate schools in your field in Chicago? What are you going to do next?

    Anyways,nice to hear from you. I was reading your journal today and saw that your mom was in the hospital, I hope she is feeling better.
