Nov. 6th, 2007

My old laptop sort of stopped working on Sunday. That is, it stopped taking power from its AC adapter yet again. I could have bought a new one from Dell for $50 or so but I have been meaning to replace that computer for a while anyway because it's slow and clunky and annoying in a lot of ways, the biggest probably being that it can't read CDs or DVDs anymore, and since the only TV in the apartment is the tiny one in my friend's bedroom, I have been relying on my computer more and more for watching movies and TV shows. So I went out and got one yesterday morning! (It wasn't as much of an impulse buy as it seems, really. I'd looked into buying a new one a year and a half ago and I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted.)

My new computer is a Toshiba Satellite A215-S7437 and so far I like it pretty well. It has a nice wide, bright screen and in a few minutes I'm going to try watching Heroes to see how that works. I'm still adjusting to using Vista and Office 2007 (because, you see, I've stuck to my daily writing goals, even with this! Go me!) and having the Delete key way the hell up in the upper right corner of the keyboard, among other things. I've transfered most of my documents from the old one but can't transfer everything because I can't keep the old one on long enough on battery power. So Firefox doesn't have the bookmarks and bookmarklets it should have and lots of toher things still need to be dealt with, but in general I'm very happy with the new one.

My techie cousin who helped me get the wireless network set up asked if he could have the old one to play with and I said yes, so I shall have to remove all traces of the fanfic before Thanksgiving. I'm sure he'll wipe it clean anyway, but I just couldn't stand handing it over the way it is. :)
