By popular request, here's a blog about my new "baby"...a brand new 5ish pound laptop, delivered early by Santa himself;) If you've been reading since the first few days of this blog, you've undoubtedly noticed I quit bitching about my laptop. Well that'd be b/c Santa heard me, and sent it early, realizing I'd probably tear my hair out before December 25. Good 'ol Santa.

It's a beaut, and terrifically set up for the mega memory capabilities I need for digi scrapping and holding a BUNCH of heritage photos right on it so I can go ask relatives wherever they are about who's who, etc. Jeff explains the laptop as being "all business on the outside, all scrappin' on the inside", lol! 1 Gig memory, 160 Gig hard drive, hi res 15.4 inch screen (1680 x 1050).

Jeff's comment upon us getting it all set up and running: "Now I am jealous of your laptop."
(My previous laptop was an 6-year-old "overworked mule of a laptop" previously owned by Jeff, shed when he upgraded...now I am the one who has upgraded and left him in the Dark Ages).

You forgot to mention that it has a 2GHz dual core Core 2 Duo CPU. Your old laptop has a 1GHz Pentium III, so your new laptop is probably (at least) four times as fast in something like Photoshop.

Yes, I've noticed it's way faster doing certain things...especially running the thumbviewer program in RoboMaster for my CraftRobo. That used to take up to several minutes to load, and now it's usually about 1 minute.
