Bit of Ivory

Well, it took pretty much all night, but Harry II is up and running. And he is screaming fast. Of course, he doesn’t have hardly anything installed at the moment, either– we’ve got Windows, of course, and Norton Anti-Virus (downloaded from BYU), and Firefox and Thunderbird, and Microsoft Office (I bought it today under protest, and will only use it when absolutely necessary– like for my new job), and Semagic and Yahoo! Messenger. And that’s about it. I’ll continue to install things tomorrow, including my WordPerfect Office (which I’m only not installing now because I’m not sure where I put the installation disk), and my Adobe stuff (unless I cave and buy the Creative Suite for $199 at BYU), and various and sundry other things. We’ve got Harry’s old hard drive installed in the new machine, so I still have access to all my files (yay!), and I’ll have to migrate all of them shortly as well.

In the meantime I’ve having trouble adjusting to typing on a full-sized keyboard again.

Yay for new computers.
