X10 tree
Why does Windows XP cost so flippin' much? I'm about to build a new computer, and I'm going to need a copy of XP Home. I'm using XP on a Dell laptop, but of course I can't transfer that over. But it's about $90 for XP! Makes me seriously consider Linux. But I don't have the patience for that...
I bought the hard drive last week for the new system, and next week I'll be getting a new motherboard and video card. Then all I'll need is the processor and memory. Oh, the anticipation that comes with new electronics.
Lights are going up outside on the house. Very snazzy looking. I have to climb up the ladder later this week to add a few more things. At least I don't have to climb on the roof this year. The Christmas tree went up this weekend, and like a big geek I X10ed it.
I watched a little of the movie French Kiss last night - you know the one with Meg Ryan. A line I noticed last night that I hadn't before was, "When people say they are happy, it makes my ass twitch." Work that into a conversation today...
I dont know if all universities do it but i know that with a student id at AU u can get a copy for $20.
