New Computering

[alliancesjr]

After a week and a half¹ of fretting about my dead computer, the FedEx Home Delivery man showed up today with a box.

It was a big box.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give to you...

(Full specs for those interested)

This machine is so completely gorgeous and fast. The monitor's a little older and its max resolution is 1366x768, not the 1440x900 I'm used to, but it's a tiny difference and the screen itself is bigger² anyway.

With the higher-end graphics card I chose, I've got a couple digital video connection ports I can use. I'll probably pick up a cable for it later; right now the VGA cable that came with is just fine.

I'll be spending the next couple days tweaking the settings and getting it just the way I want, but right now? I'm back in the game.

1. Okay, a week and a day. But who's counting?


2. 18.5 inches on the diagonal. Felix's screen was 17. SIZE DOES MATTER.

Hehe, I interpreted your footnote as "bigger^2" at first, and was like "It's as big as the square of the old screen's size? Damn, you could put that up in Times Square!"

I may be a geek.
