New Laptop!

Well, the Mac died. And when i say died, i don't mean it petered out, no it died a tragic, horrific, and as yet undetermined death. It has been giving me all sorts of problems lately but it didn't hit the wall until yesterday. It won't work at all as I think the harddrive has suffered some sort of total meltdown. The very sad, i lost everything that was on hard drive, including my music and even more importantly my pictures. The good thing is i have backups of most of them online and Sara has a bunch so thats good.

So i was planning on buying a new laptop anyway, even had it picked out and ironicly it was just ordered yesterday morning. It was an Asus F3T. Had the AMD duel-core processor but the big thing was the GeForce 7600 series video card. Problem was, now that the Mac died, i couldn't wait the forever it would take to have it shipped (they all take about 6 weeks i found out). So i got a new one from the PX instead.

Its not exactly what i had in mind when i was looking obviously, but its still a pretty neat laptop. Its a Toshiba A205. It has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a 15.4 inch screen (which is pretty freaking awesome), a 160GB HD, 1GB ram (though that will be upped to 2 GB relatively soon). Thats the good, the only downfall is it has integrated graphics, which kinda sux. Its running Windows Vista Home Premium pretty well so far though, but i can't wait to get the ram.

So thats the fun story of today, much less serious than the previous post!
