NOW you did it......!




Sure, I wuz fine plodding along with my old reliable. Then I get an itch when I see 'upgrade' mentioned.....

Upon discussion with a tech guy (read: Salesman), coming this next week a NEW computer in entirety: 'Systemax' ATHLON 64/2ghz, 2GB ram, 160gb HD, fresh motherboard, video card supporting two monitors, another 19" LCD monitor to supplement my 21" NEC CRT, DVD/CDR burner (I didn't have but a CDR before) and a CA migrating software package that allows transfer of programs and settings from one computer to the other (free after rebate). Optical mouse, etc....

I am sure some programs will have to be installed, but, as the tech told me, this will do 90% of the programs, if I choose it to. We'll see.

Having two monitors will really allow me to work less restricted. The speed increase will allow me to work quicker with the large files my 12mp camera can generate!

News as I do.

Thanks. I think.....

Coop
