Now that the new puter is up and running, let's talk about it for a bit. Whatever I forget, UT can fill in.
--Athlon 1700 Processor
--80GB HD
--256MB RAM (I actually told Tony to order 512, but he forgot, so Dave, if you're still offering to chip in for the extra 256, I'm all ears.)
--CD-RW drive
--DVD-ROM drive
--Windows XP (Yes...a real copy of it.)
--IBM Optical Mouse (I picked this up tonight b/c my old one was driving me nuts...it was the original.)
--Zoom V.92 modem (Had to buy this tonight as well, as my old modem was not compatible with XP. It was the cheapest one they had, and we're getting DSL as soon as the setup stuff comes from Earthlink.)
--Iiyama 17" monitor (I got that from Shepps about 6 months ago.)
Total cost--approximately $400. Well worth every dollar. Paid for by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania--they finally mailed out my unemployment checks last week that I had been waiting for for almost a month.
Life is good.
