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

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

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
