So Far, So Good
I’ve had my new computer for almost a week now, and so far I love it. It’s so liberating to not have to wait five minutes just to check my email. I had a bad week last week with my ADD, yet I still managed to get my work done on schedule. How awesome is that?
Now if I can just reign in my brain and stay focused, I should be able to get more work done in much, much less time. I knew my old machine was ridiculously slow, but I don’t think I fully grasped how slow until I started working on this one. I can actually write an article in a reasonable amount of time now. Part of it is because of the faster computer itself, and part of it is the fact that I can be more productive when I’m not mentally (and sometimes literally) screaming at the computer all the time.
Hubby still won’t let the fact that I bought a new one rest. He nearly went into fits when his friend told him that he had one he would have sold me for $20. But when I asked him about it, he said it had Windows 98 and needed a memory upgrade. If I wanted to go that route, I could have done so with my old computer. If I could upgrade the memory myself, I would have come out a little bit ahead by the time I bought Vista and some memory. But I can’t, so that really wouldn’t have made much sense. But try telling Hubby that.
He’ll get over it in time. If not, I just don’t really care any more.
