In a timeframe of "it's about damn time", I have my new computer up and running. His name is Madman. I'm transferring stuff from Thalia; I'm not fool enough to try and do it manually, so I'm having her export it over the network. There's rather a lot of stuff in there. I'm impressed. It will probably take a good portion of the night. Meanwhile, Madman is running merrily, with Google Desktop not straining the system, not even with Firefox involved.
Last night was not a good night for sleep. I'll do better today.
I'll need a new monitor; this one is all right for some internetting, but the bottom left corner of it has distorted colors.
myrrhianna pointed out to me that I could just get a USB wireless doodad instead of getting an internal wireless NIC; I've got some of those already. So yay.
I'm having that new and shiny feel to the system right now. It's all so very glamourous. I'm getting used to system setup. I know how I like things, and I'm getting the essential things in. Couldn't do this with floppies.
