Good morning, world!!

I am posting this message from my brand-new, super-cool computer. Hurrah!! It's taken 4 hours to get to this point, but dammit, it's working.

The only problem at all is the lack of sound card. Randen lent me a sound card, but it's pretty old and there are no XP drivers for it. My computer makes a stupid beeping noise every now and then, when warning messages come up. Even when I put on 'no sounds'. Blah.

I am very happy. And sleepy. But I have programs to install!! :)

Oh, and Janke - I checked my phone messages, and the computer shop called on Thursday and left me a message saying my laptop was ready. I guess they forgot that I gave them your name and number instead. *sigh* So I'll hopefully pick it up tomorrow, and be done with it fairly quickly.

i just thought i'd let everyone know that i deemed the dumb beepy noise to be the mating call of julia's new computer.

has anything or anybody started answering the noise? THAT would be interesting.

last night as i was falling asleep i thought it would be a cool dorky thing to build some sort of sound activacted gadget that would respond with soulful crooning noises when julia's computer made its beeps.
then i would hide it somewhere in the apartment. maybe move it around every day. ;)

But my computer shouldn't be beeping for THAT long... I'll either disconnect the cable while it's turned off (if I remember) or get a better sound card soon.
