I am having soooo much fun tonight! Well, as much fun as one can have while one's notoriously cute boyfriend isn't in the same town, that is. Man is down at our beach place getting ready for school tomorrow. I am still in The Big Mango (Bangkok), still working on setting up the new apartment.
Today was computer purchase day. There's a guy Man has known for ages (named Guy, actually) who moon-lights as a computer consultant. So for the grand total of US$40, I paid him for the entire day today. He took me to the biggest computer center in Thailand and we ordered components for a new puter for me, and then while it was being assembled, we shopped for printer, scanner, web-camera, cool speakers, the whole nine yards.
He transferred the old hard-drive stuff (my computer in Hong Kong was a 486, pre-Pentium) to the new comp. I am now typing from my new wireless keyboard and clicking on my wireless mouse. Listening to music on a really nice sound system. Lots and lots of stuff to learn about...Windows XP is very nice, etc. etc.
It's soooo cool! We forgot the mike, so when I learn the web-cam, I still can't talk to you yet, but a couple weeks from now, why not? Meanwhile, I'll be transferring loads of cassette tape music to CD, which I've been wanting to do for ages.
I don't even care that I can't get broadband here...it's really zippy even without.
So, now to download the Messenger programs, etc. and get some anti-virus protection, and try not to stay up all night.
Have a nice day, ya'll!!!
