My new machine is here! I feel like I’m geeking out. It’s nothing too special… I mean, nothing like a gaming machine (although, I will eventually own one of those). But it’s definitely miles above what I am working with currently and what I used to have (you poor virus ridden HD you).

Dell Vostro 200
Intel DualCore 2GHz
Vista Home Basic (well, I know it’s a pain, but if the OS is unavoidable, I might as well practice at home)
160G HD (which isn’t a huge issue. I have externals)
22 inch widescreen LCD (omg squee)
black (practically a necessity)

Geeking out may turn to freaking out in the near future though. The space where my other machine sits… has been overrun with my clutter. And clothes. I will eventually get into how cramped my available closet space is. But it scarcely rivals how cramped my ‘tech space’ aka my desk is. No, there will be no pictures.

I’ve got iPod speaker (Bose, of course), other iPods, cable box, old desktop (HP), TV (32 inch Bravia), decrepit printer (hasn’t had an ink refill in YEARS (minimum 6), various chargers, camera, other phone. Inevitably other bits of tech that aren’t mine also end up here. Like our GPS. Don’t know how that managed to travel from the garage up here.

At any rate. I’ll wait till my inner geek child has calmed, and then we can commence the setup.
