Wecome to Windows XP

So we got a new computer over the weekend ... actually, got it picked up. We bought it last weekend.

It's a Compaq blah blah blah and it has a Pentium 4 blah blah blah 40 gigs blah blah blah. And it runs really fast.

This is only our 2nd computer (well, 3rd, if you count the one we had just for word-processing purposes). My time has been taken up reloading old programs and trying to find bookmarks and such. I thought I had lost the Internet access disc and the printer disc. I have to keep better track of these just in case.

There was one glitch, tho: We bought an MS Office Suite for it, but they gave us the wrong one. We bought the one with PowerPoint, and it wasn't there. So now, we have to unhook the dang thing and take it back to Best Buy so they can uninstall the wrong MS Office and put the right one in.

The best part of the new computer is that now we don't have to deal with mud-slow response anymore. The worst part is trying to get all the settings just right, so it mimics all the settings it took 5 years for us to get on our old computer!

-Zube.

P.S. Thanks for the feedback. I still gotta clarify what I'm doing here tho!

My favorite thing about Windows XP? Spider Solitaire!

Out of curiousity, which Best Buy did you go to?

Went to the Best Buy in Ahwatukee. Don't go there, though. The "Geek Squad" guys were way too confused.
