New Lappie!

As they say, out with the old, in with the new! I'm now typing this blog entry, with a lot of typos at the mo as I strive to get used to this new keyboard, on my new laptop - a super-uber pretty Compaq Presario! Keep pressing arrow up instead of shift cos my old lappie - God rest its soul - had a longer one that I used to hit with my right ring finger. Anyways, must really shout out a great huge thanks to Jeremy for bearing the unearthly crowd at the IT Show and helping me purchase this steal whilst I stayed at home and communicated with him via live-feed through the trusty cell-phone connection. I would never have been able to get this deal by the time I travelled down to the location of super jam of today. I must say that my research late into the wee hours of the morning did work out well - although I am rather saddened by the fact that I just missed out on the deal I initially wanted, but no regrets cos this one with the more current processor is so damn fast! I've never experienced internet speeds at this rate! I didn't even know my internet connection was capable of such speed! Dammit! I think I've been wasting more than a day of waiting for pages to load with my old laptop as compared to the new one! Oh the best thing about getting this laptop? I can claim freaking $400 for it! It's a $400 discount that no other offer can beat! Woohoo! Kudos to LDS man!

Anyways, there are some qualms about getting a new laptop, such as the trouble of having to reinstall every thing from square one... plus I'm still trying to get used to the new Vista OS. I still miss XP, that's for sure.

New laptop, new watch... (a super nice Casio black with gold trimmings at $36! Plus it has an auto illuminator which lights up the screen in the dark when you hold it up to your face.) So proud of that find! Anyways, yes, coupled with a perhaps not that fantastic new haircut. So far I've gotten 2 nice, one bad and two neutral comments. Will receive more comments tonight I guess, when the bitches come and have our bball showdown.

Ok this is officially the first thing I've done with my new laptop, besides installing MS Office and some necessary boring stuff... yoohoo! Off to do work on the lappie... new lappie motivates me to do work!

PS: Good luck BB for your new job. Finally you found something that offers better and a chance to do something else. All the best to my extremely capable BB!
