Morning is almost over on a Saturday and I'm sitting here ON MY NEW COMPUTER. :)

I gave up and took a late nap yesterday and I sort of had not expected anything. I was lying in bed for an hour and I couldn't get to sleep. Didn't hear anything out of the ordinary but I had to go to the bathroom so I got up. After doing my business, I went to the living room and looked out our front window and I spotted a box on the porch. Ta-da. UPS had stealth delivered a package, yes, THE package ... my new motherboard and stuff!

>So yesterday afternoon was spent catching up on work and last night was spent putting the computer together. Had 2 problems: Windows XP required a call to microsoft to reactivate and my new modem wasn't working with AOL. I swapped the modem with the modem from the dead computer and ta-da everything worked.

Now that they delivered, I can recommend http://www.antaresnow.com for bare bones computer systems. While they were slow for me due to the holidays, they really did come through and made sure all the parts I ordered were working before sending it out (the modem was a driver issue, btw, not their fault). They even mount the processor on the motherboard and add the cooling to it. A+ in my book even with the wait.

Right now I'm downloading my copy of paintshop pro 7.0 anniversary edition and, oh yah, creating the site cache so I can do updates again on this site. We'll see what happens, but thank you so much for being here and putting up with me while I was bonking out. Another couple of days and I'll be up to speed. Well hopefully anyway. :)

Have a great Saturday if I don't blog again,
