and, dammit, I really cant afford it
right now, but I ordered a new computer
today. This monitor has been acting up
for months now. And I've had some problems
with the motherboard for awhile too.

so, I ordered a 3.0 GHz p4 with 1GHz ram.

this one is a 1 GHz with 512 ram.

the new one should be here by the
end of the week.

no, the serial ports quite working
a few years ago, i've been having
trouble with the sound card and the
hard drive often makes an odd clicking
noise. And the A drive is shot.
so, I have to load my fotos at work
then email them back to this account.

this computer is... 4 years old,
so to be on the safe side, i'll
just order a new one

if I went for overkill, i'd have ordered
3.4 GHz processor!

I mean, I've got to have one for work
and if this one goes out, I'll have to
drive 20 miles into downtown to fix any
thing that might pop up - and being oncall
for 2 weeks every 12, I'd rather not do that.

plus I can always keep this one around as a backup
in the spare room.

Goblin! casually replied:

I was cracking up earlier - I had a job interview at a local computer
store and one of the questions was "what do you do if a customer calls and
tells you that they have a broken monitor?".

Nah, thats terrible business. If you save 'em the loot by reminding them
that they only need to flip the damn thing on, then they'll remember you
when they're ready to drop a load of cash later.
