New Toy

I am moving up in the world of technology; I just bought a laptop, I mean notebook computer.

I love him, well as much as one can love a computer. His name is Frank and he only weighs 6.5 lbs. He has an 80GB hardrive and satellite capabilities. He is quite fast. He will be even more efficient when I buy him another 512MB of memory. His screen is 15.4" and his picture quality is amazing. He has a CD/DVD burner.

I bought him because I still live at home with my folks and it is hard to concentrate on writing papers and such with everyone home. My folks have one computer and it is not in a quiet area of the house. With Frank, I can type away in the privacy of my bedroom. I have already started again on my website, using Windows 2003. I like Windows much better than Yahoo! when it comes to site building. I am still learning as I go, of course. The whole web building class is about a year away. I sketched out what I want my pages to look like almost a year ago, when I bought my domain, but time and technology has not been on my side until now.

I am finally ready to go, though. My scanner software is on Frank. I even bought him an tiny, inexpensive printer. His home is a beautiful leather case, which I got a good deal on as well.

I had some free time yesterday, so I played around with my digital recording studio, my BR-1180. I am learning how to use it to its fullest potential. I hate reading brochures. I am one of those people who learns by doing, not by reading a damn manual. If I get stuck, then I read the manual. Anyway, the song came out pretty good. Of course, everyone is a goddess in her bedroom recording studio!
