Aunt Tracie broke down the other day and finally bought a new computer (or as the nieces and nephews call it, a new pewtah). Not that this was a critical necessity by any means, but I was sick of my agonizingly slow machine, and I'm sure the Lord was sick of my continually cursing it. It was so bad, that I couldn't wait to get home and not get on my computer. So I went to the Dell website a couple of weeks ago and looked around. It took me several days to make a decision, which will not come as a surprise to most of you. But I finally decided on an All-in-One desktop. I wanted to maintain a designated work/office space, so no laptop. And I wanted something that would be fast and have a lot of memory, but not take up a lot of space. Plus, it came with a 22 inch wide-screen monitor, and what woman of a certain age couldn't use that?
It arrived last week, but since I was out of town, I didn't get it home and set up until last night. But now that I've used it a bit, I have to say, that it's dang cool! It's so fast! And it's a touch screen, so I can use it the way you see the team use it on NCIS (what's not cool about that?). It's also got this really cool music game where I can play all sorts of musical instruments on the touch screen - I've got my own little synthesizer now. When I told Angel about the new purchase, she commented that they'd probably never get me away from it now. She would be right. Although there is one downside to it that I can see so far. It's so big and luxurious that it's overpowering to my eyes. My optic nerve can't process all the awesomeness. But the wireless keyboard and mouse (not to mention my synthesizer) more than make up for it. And have I mentioned that it's super fast?!
(I took a picture to show you what it looks like, but apparently the Pewtah's too awesome for the old image viewing software. So I've attached a shot from the Dell website...)
