After 6 agonizing years with the old cheap-ass Inspiron 2350, I've got a new machine.

Custom built, I might add.

Of course, I didn't do it. I'd probably mess everything up and screw up the motherboard with sweat ( I sweat quite easily). Got someone else to do it and paid them a princely sum of money.

I missed out on the graphics card but I was getting low on cash AND I wanted to get a printer, too. So, yeah. Life's a bitch. Get used to it, I tell myself.

Downside that it's a tad big, doesn't fit too well in my desk. In terms of height, truly GINORMOUS compared to today's chassis and the old 2350... urgh, don't want to mention it ever again.

When we took apart the... old machine XD it was literally packed with dust. Probably why the thing's constantly shutting itself off, I think. Probably doesn't help the air circulation.

Well, the dusty computer just gave up on me one day. I was happily typing away on an essay. I had barely started up Word when it melted down pernamently, so I was lucky. Or not so lucky. My teacher isn't very friendly IMO (some people just think he's strict, but WTF's the difference?) and doesn't like people missing out on homework. Oh, well. Got out my trusty old fountain pen and began writing. Writing the equivalent of fapping a day straight. Without armrests. IMO its much much more sore. Damn teacher. Damn Mr. S. Well, damn everyone actually. Sorry if this seems a bit overboard/excessive/what's the word? hey, anyone have a reverse dictionary or something? but hey, it's my blog, my post, my page and if you don't like it, well don't read and take your ass with you. I could have used a much stronger expression, though.

Since then, doing work is a pain (other computer is similarly slow as the old one and might just give up on me one day) in the ass. I just stay at school to finish work (no easy feat, mind you) or go to friends to solicit their computer's assistance.

And now, I get a much better computer. After one computer-free month. (Yes I know I've been gone from NG much longer but STFU and well...)

Oh well, happy NGing!

EDIT 4/5/08: Ooh, I beat my computer-game addiction for one month! Never noticed that until I reread my post.
