My NEW computer arrived today, to work, there the friendly UPS guy brought it up to the lab. The new computer has several advantages. It hasn't yet threatened to overheat, none of the edges are sharp or broken, and it runs a modern enough browser I can use G+. Actually, the other computer WOULD have run a modern browser, if it weren't FULL. So yes, several upgrades right out of the box. And it is quite pretty to boot.
I did, in the end, opt to switch back to a PC- it's cheaper, and my experience with the Macbook wasn't so outstanding (remember that time my hard drive died?) that I have an Apple allegiance. Just the iPod! All this does mean I am making some adjustments. Right clicks, for example, are hard to get used to. And the software on the mac was about half a decade behind what the PC is running. But, the PC runs it faster! Let's all thank the parents for the end of Mackbook whines, as a birth-uation present to us all.
Matt is helping me stage the transition of files and settings to the new computer, and also install the fistfull of software I picked up from Pitt this afternoon (still at student prices until I both to pay the $85 graduation fee). Matt seems to think you'll want to know it is a Lenovo Ideapad, Core i5. I thought you might like to know that the inside is a pretty brushed metal. Oh, and it has way better minigames than solitaire and minesweeper. Hooray! Thanks Mom and Dad!
