The computer is here!

And this is my very first ZOC post from the new computer!!! I am in the process of reassembling everything to get it how I want it. but...


I LIKE VISTA!!! There! I said it! Ha ha! Take that, computer geeks!

Seriously, I think that I am partially influenced by the fact that Firefox for Vista behaves much like Safari for Mac, which I have spent the past week exiled to. (My prediction that the new computer would arrive just as I had gotten my Mac profile to my liking came true as well. :P) But, I am very much enjoying the new machine so far.

There was one amusing story. We got a very good price on this computer, which was because it had been refurbished. As a consequence of being refurbished, it came in the same box that it had gone to the original consumer in. Written in "redneck scribble" in ballpoint pen on the outside of the box was the phrase: Return. Skeakers do not work "either". Interestingly enough, the "skeakers" worked just fine when Mr. Samoa turned them on and when I went to a webpage with sound. We think Bubba Bob hadn't quite mastered the concept of the volume knob. :P Consequently, however, the means by which audio emits from electronic devices are now "skeakers" in the Samoa household from now until the end of time. :D
