Bought A New Computer

After several days of computer lockups and not being able to access some sites (or the Internet at all), I finally decided to buy a new computer.. couldn't afford much, but figured the upgrade to XP and a larger HD would have cost almost as much so got one on clearance at Walmart for $275.. an Everex AMD Explora RS2800. Smaller footprint and quieter than the Compaq I had..

Aside from the pre-installed Norton Internet Security initially blocking my Internet access, it seems to be working ok.

Have been spending the day re-installing all my programs, etc and getting used to using XP vs ME... should be back in full swing tomorrow!

See you then, if not before!
