Oh, Joy and Rapture

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I picked up my new Gateway PC tonight. I hooked it up around 8pm and I’ve spent the last four hours playing The Sims.

You cannot even begin to comprehend how different this is compared to my old piece o’ crap computer.

Old system - enhanced 486 120 mhz, 500 mb drive, 16 mb RAM, 36.6k modem, 15" monitor

New System - PIII 800 mhz, 15 gig drive, 128 mb RAM, 56k modem, 17" monitor, 16 mb TNT video card, rewritable CD … (insert Tim Allen grunts here)

My wife is in L.A. today - I’m sitting here loading all the games that ran like shit on my old system, chowing down on Hamburger Helper, and 5/6’s my way through a six pack of Newcastle Brown Ale.

Does it get any better than this??

The good/bad news (depending on how much you’re willing to put up with my shit) is I’ll be able to do a lot more posting on the weekends. Bwaaahaaahhaaahaaa!

Me and my PII-300 64MB RAM 12 MB video card are jealous.

New computers are so much fun. But don’t worry, that euphoric feeling you get from having a top of the line computer will fade in about 6 months.

I bet it still has that new computer smell. :smiley:

Congrats on the new system Jack, I know you were looking forward to it. Now you just have to get DSL!

Not a bad system.
