Massive Need for Tech Upgrades
Man. This house is in so much need of tech upgrades, it's ridiculous.
My PC runs decently but it's now over 4 years old (9/2/2002). I started noticing the suckiness a lot lately because I am constantly running out of room on my secondary HD, which is primarily used for media (photos, videos, music, etc). I mean, I have an 80gig primary and a 120 gig secondary. When you take photos, collect music, and shoot video as much as myself, after a few years, that is not sufficient. Really what I need is like 3-4-500gb. Plus new apps are seeming to run crappier than they are probably designed for *cough*itunes 7*
I was browsing around in Best Buy the other day to find that most standard configs now come with more than what my PC is equipped with, eep! Definitely time for an upgrade.
Plus, I have a 17" CRT (CRT!) monitor, wtf, haha. At work I have 2 - 18" LCD monitors.
I'd really like to wait until MS Vista comes out, which I think is soon. However money is always a problem in this household... and a new car is probably more important for the safety of myself and others. We'll see what happens.
The most important things on my new PC are space and monitors (and speed).... So I guess I need everything important. I want 2 or 3, good, big LCD monitors. I want a 3-4-500gb hd. I want USB2s all over the place, bluetooth, DVD+RW. Man, I want to compute!
And also... Kari's laptop... DANG. I mean, haha, DANG. That thing is... hold on let me go look.
... 796mhz, 128mb ram, and 18.6gb hd. Plus the screen won't stay up. Like, if you open it, it will just fall immediately forward or backward. You have to put a blanket around it or set it up against a wall, or mount some brass chains to the sides.
For the record, My PC is: 2.27ghz, 1gb ram, 200 gb hd.
I have been considering another job. But what part time job pays well? I should probably just start doing more web dev. Or maybe I will just start making all kinds of sites with google ads...
