This is not much of a diary, but I want to share the email I got from indiemcemopants today. His new computer arrived, so I asked him if he likes it.
ohmygod this is the nicest thing i have ever owned in my life, not to mention the nicest computer i have EVER. SEEN.
this computer is amazing. the hi def screen is jaw dropping and EVERYTHING IS SO FAST!!! not just the internet but every program, too! you click something and it's there. you send an email and it doesn't have an hour glass and say "waiting." ohh maaaaan. i've never experienced anything like this before.
But wait - there was another email:
i can't stop FREAKING OUT (IN A GOOD WAY!)
i mean.. my internet won't even be upgraded until tonight! i was told at around 6pm to unplug my router and modem so it resets.. other words, this is all amazing BEFORE i even get the full benefit of the change.
my last one was plastic and heavy, this one is some type of actual metal (so it will last longer!) and is very, very light. i was carrying it around just fine. i will definitely be taking it to netroots nation! it's a great computer for a cripple. and not only do programs load fast and stuff like that but i just downloaded some programs i had on my other computer and they were DONE when i CLICKED THEM. WTF.
my only complaint (if you can even fucking call it that because WOW!!!!) is that on this computer i HAVE to use the arrow keys to scroll down a page. with my last one i could use the keypad to do it. it doesn't appear to be an option here.
but um. i can adjust to THAT reeeaaalll fast.
omg.
you and everyone else who helped me with this are SO GREAT!
Huge thanks to everyone who helped get one of our best bloggers back to work. ♥
PS - He's offline this afternoon, loading programs, transferring files, and all that goes along with changing computers ... but you'll see his byline again very soon.
