Feb. 18th, 2010 10:12 pmI... have a new laptop at last! :D 'Tis a Toshiba, and very shiny, both in the literal and the "very awesome indeed" sense. And fast. And pretty. And it has sooooo much more room than my old one. And everything works now. And I love Windows 7. And did I mention it's fast? *g*
I've already got all my files transferred, except for my spriting files - my main program there is too outdated to work on this computer. New version's already ordered, though, and should be getting here any day now. Also got aaaall my internet bookmarks transferred (bless you, Firefox, for making that so simple!). So now I'm in the process of organizing, figuring out what does what, and adjusting various settings. Hehe, that, and playing with things that either wouldn't work, or which I didn't dare even attempt earlier lest my computer have a complete hissy fit. (Firefox personas ftw!) So. Much. Fun. *ded*
Ahem. Yes. Sorry, just a tad overexcited at the moment. I have been generally stressing out over and planning and researching computer stuff for so long, and my laptop was getting so frustrating. *hugs new compy*
Also, I found a really, really good price on a wireless ergonomic keyboard on eBay. It just got here a couple days ago, and oh my... *bliss* My wrists are very happy indeed. Takes a bit of getting used to - both the different shape, and the keys being slightly farther apart than on the laptop, which is more of an adjustment when you've got small hands - but it is so nice. :D
Now I just need to see what my new laptop's personality's like, so I can come up with a good name for it. So far I've had the infamous Chrysophylax (after the dragon in Tolkien's Farmer Giles of Ham, which will only behave and tell the truth if someone's standing over it with an enchanted sword) and Caudimordax (the enchanted dragon-slaying sword, which nonetheless has more of a mind of its own than one might expect from an inanimate object). Hmm. To stick with some sort of Tolkien-related theme, or go in an entirely new direction?
Suggestions, anyone? *bg*
