This thing has already been a blessing for me. I have already used it to study for a final, work on one of my projects, and check my e-mail.<\/p>\n
I went ahead and picked up a wireless card, not realizing when I bought it that it didn’t come with XP drivers on the installation disk. After getting my first Windows XP BSOD<\/span>, I found out that that was the problem. So a quick trip to the card maker’s web site later, we’re ready to go! A laptop and a wireless card are a wonderful thing.<\/p>\n I’m still in the process of setting everything up on it so far, and I haven’t had as much time as I’d like because I’ve been so busy. But once I get it like I like it, I’ll be good to go for at least a few years, I hope. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Here’s some of the specs on it: It’s an HP, with an Athlon 1800+ processor (I went for more processing power for my buck), 512MB of RAM, a 40GB hard drive, internal Ethernet port (which allows me to make this update from the comfort of my recliner while I watch the Indiana-Maryland basketball game and wait on some software to download), and some other fun stuff to boot.<\/p>\n The only thing that I have against it is the touchpad. I like trackballs better myself, but I’ll get used to it, I’m sure. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Well, I need to wrap up…I’ve got a long night working on my PLP project. Good thing that it’ll go a lot quicker now with this thing…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This thing has already been a blessing for me.
