Oy and argh. I finally got around to setting up the new computer last night. I took the 120 GB drive out of the old PC and tried to put it into the new one…unfortunately, it’s not compatible. At all. Doesn’t fit in the slot, uses different connections, etc., etc. I was well and truly pissed off for about 20 minutes there.
Luckily the new one comes with an 80GB hard drive (not 40 as I’d originally thought) so I can move everything I have onto the new machine. I hooked it up to the router and transferred everything over, so now it should just be a matter of plain old setting up a new machine. And I have to say, I love me some 19″ Ultrasharp LCD. It’s also pretty sweet that this bad boy has 7x the processor speed and 4x the memory of my old one. That’s what happens when you go 6 years between purchases.
In unrelated news, anybody out there need a Western Digital 120GB hard drive? Less than a year old. Just askin’.

Nellie, rock star that she is, got most of the xmas shopping done yesterday. Hooray for wives on their days off.
Why don’t you buy one of these:

And connect it via USB. It would be useful as a portable media drive for music.
My brother actually told me the same thing yesterday. I had no idea such things existed.
[Sigh] What an age we live in!!
