December2006: New Toy

My new laptop arrived yesterday! It didn't ship until December 7, 2006 and it arrived on my doorstep sometime during the day December 8, 2006. I had free 7-10 day UPS Ground Shipping. I couldn't believe how fast it got here.

It is a lot bigger than I imagined. I saw a similar model in Circuit City and it didn't seem this large. Either way, I really like the 17" widescreen display. I'll write more about it later!

July2006: Download, Install, Restart, Repeat

Ever since Amy installed AOL (not to be confused with IM), her computer has been running extremely slow. Of course, I told her that before she installed it, but Ashleigh didn't have Internet access and Amy couldn't live without Internet access for nearly a month. So, out of desperation, she installed it so that they could have "free" Internet access. She spent the better part of her last few evenings backing up her data so that we could reformat her hard drive and reinstall Windows XP...then came the tedious task of downloading, installing, restarting, installing, etc. all of the software programs that she had prior to the reformat. I was so tired by the time we finished last night, I quickly fell asleep.

March2005: Fedora

You may have noticed that I still haven't posted any pictures from this past Sunday at Players. Oh well. I'll get to it eventually. I've just been so busy with work and playing around with Fedora. *shrugs*

February2005: My Fedora

Yesterday, I decided to install Redhat Fedora onto my laptop. It dual boots with Windows XP because I didn't want to lose total functionality as I do not know Linux yet. However, I have tried past versions of Redhat Fedora and I really like what they have changed/added. I have used this since last night and I haven't even touched Windows XP. We'll see how this goes...
