New computers

Something fun about new computers and at the same time, very draining.  So I did go pick up a new 24″ iMac on the 1st.  Ive been using it daily since then.  Its very quiet in here too, no loud fan like it was with the desktop.  Its positivly quiet.  Its going to be very very odd when I get rid of my other two computers.  One thats in the living room doing home theater work, and then the file server in the bedroom.  Thinking of getting rid of that file server when i get the Mac Mini for the living room.  Use some usb/firewire attached storage and just do it that way.

Its taken a few days to fully settle in at having OS X as my home system.  Ive been using it at work so no big deal there, but transitioning to home is a little more work.  Things like mounting drives perminatly and all that sorta stuff.  Not to mention the whole layout and preferred applications.  Oh well its all fun.  Just nice to have a computer I can watch a video on and surf at the same time again.  Then also the idea of quiet is nice

Windows T+1 year

I’m just over one year on this install.

Original Install Date:     3/1/2007, 8:11:51 PM

And it used to be a running joke that you had to reinstall XP every year.  Its true.  I swear either the hardware is finally failing, or this install is finaly pretty well mucked up.  It is crashing often, sometimes daily and all Im doing is like surfing.  I am super safe in my surfing with scripting off and in firefox locked down.  But man it sucks.  I just have to hold out another week or so and Ill go buy a mac.  Im just tired of this dang computer its just failing me.  Debating do i want to take it and just shoot it up….who knows ;)
