Another weekend without Aimee.  Snif.  She talked to me on the phone last night until she had to leave to pick him up, and she called me this morning when he left to pay the rent.  But we didn’t sleep together last night.  I got a lot more sleep than usual last night, but don’t feel rested at all.  I LOVE YOU MY AIMEE.

I got my new computer yesterday.  The case had been jammed together on one side, and that side panel was bent… I did take a pair of pliers to it and unbend it enough that it fits together right again.  Overall, it LOOKS nice from the front but feels flimsy on the back, where all the connectors are.  John is coming over today and I’m going to set about putting it together.  If we do it right, I should be back online in hours; if not, it might be days…  it is a barebones system, comes with the case, power supply, motherboard, Athlon 2400+ processor, processor cooling fan, and 256 Mb of RAM … a 56x CD-ROM and a floppy drive.  I’m taking the 8x DVD-ROM from my old machine and swapping it with the 56x, then adding my CD-RW and two hard drives.  It *SHOULD* run just like the old machine only better.  Windows 2000 Pro will have to go through the new hardware configuration, might take a while.

I will also have 2/3 of a machine left, my old one, a 350 MHz Pentium II machine needing the power supply replaced and a hard drive to make it run.  Anyone need a cheap computer?

I printed out all the rebate forms on the new computer.  If I can find the things I need (UPC codes, make copies of the sales order), I’ll get $110 total back in 4 rebates, that’s worth using a few stamps for.

Anyhow, that’s my life today.  Hugs to IrishLass, spikymuffin, and others who have been leaving comments …. kisses, etc., to my Aimee, just for loving me so much.

Hugs,
Me
