whee!

Okay, in absolutely awesome news, John II is made of win and my backup so far seems to have worked perfectly. Still getting used to things like working speakers and a screen that's kind of aweing in size (seriously. I keep having to jiggle the text around--everything else is fine but text. And it's very, very bright.)

But fic! Safe! Email! Safe! Music! Safe! Some--er, other stuff! Safe! Even my firefox settings were there, and seriously, I just--John and I are very happy.

I will continue to purr at him while trying to get my screen down to a slightly darker shade of blinding white. Cause man. This is very, very white.

But! It's all pretty! And--other stuff. Still finding and reinstalling programs and firefox scripts, and um, basically, happy.

*infatuated* He's so pretty.

Yay new computer! And backup that was successful.

I'm sure you won't find it too difficult to get used to working speakers and a huge screen. Really, I think you're up for the challenge. ;)

On a slightly related note, I love the name for your computer. I think I have to name mine. Hmmm.

*G* It's funny--I was in Smallville three years and I never named a computer during that time. SGA? Two names so far.

*g* The screen is teh same physical size, but man, the *resolution* is odd. I'll get used to the small text, but definitely--disconcerting. But in a good way!

Names are good. Easier to yell when computer is not acting well. *nods firmly*

Heh. you can change the resolution, you know.

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/display_change_screen_resolution.mspx?mfr=true

Usually you can make the screen dimmer by holding the function key and using the arrow keys, or other keys with the little sun icon.

You'll have to get a cardboard cut out of a P90 and tape it to the side and then get a black feather boa to drap over it all, hee!

And congrats! New toys, especially shiny expensive ones like that, are always wonderful.

*G* Oh yeah. I am totally twitching when I look at the credit cards that were half paid off that were sacrificed?

But not tonight. I am immersed in the Shiny.

I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL, ONLY A MONTH AGO NOW. (And okay, again 2 days ago when I upgraded to Leopard.) Except without the panic of a dead computer, and only the joy of a SHINY AWESOME NEW ONE.

I seriously feel like I have a crush. I keep touching and playing with all the new fucntions.

OMG the multitasking I can do! *breathless* I'm just--gah. So *cool*.

What kind did you get?

From: [identity profile] mercurydraconix.livejournal.com Date: 2007-11-20 10:57 am (UTC)
I got a 15" macbook pro, and it's like an orgasm in a shiny, flat package. no, no, better. when I first got it home, after having a 12" screen for the last four and a half years, I was like "wait, but, what do I DO with all this SPACE??" (though I will admit to missing the fact that my very first 12'' baby could fit in my purse. minor drawbacks.)

but jesus, I have 2 gb of ram now. up from maybe 128 mb. i can actually run other programs at the same time i run azureus! *radiates joy*

Oooooh. *Nice*. My boss just got one of those and he's still drooling.

Laptop are totally made of win.

If I win the lotto/major book contract. I'm totally buying a 'traveling' laptop. Something light and small and thin and that doesn't make me regret dragging it along on weekends.

White like Welling's teeth after bleaching!!!!!!!

I toned it down a little, but man, it gave me a headache at first.

*grins* Isn't it great when they just feed us this stuff? BTW my secondary HD is named John. Am pondering which HD to name Rodney.

All my computers have been named after AIs/'droids. Fropm Bollux the Zenith 286 laptop in 1989, to Blue Max mk I, II, and III (and one of my external HDs is named Blue Max as well) to G (the Ai on Sol Bianca) to Synergy (current laptop).

One of these days, I am going to run out of fictional computers. Alreayd my flash drive is Seymour (after Lafortunata) and my otehr external HD is Ianto ('nuff said).
