I got a new toy!

I got a netbook! It’s Pink!!!

I’ve had laptops before.  I tend to lean toward HP when I am purchasing any computer, so I’ve had multiple hp full size laptops and enjoyed them. After a not so great experience about a year ago with hp though, I’ve been going laptopless. I sort of enjoyed it. I mean, I was always on my more powerful desktop, with a bigger screen, but recently being tied down to my desk anytime I wanted to be on the computer really started to get on my nerves. I decided I wanted a laptop. Something that would be small and light, that I could use for internet, email, and work. At first I started looking at eeepc’s  because they are certainly small. Then for awhile I thought maybe I could get one of the higher spec’d Ibook G4′s! Then I could have OSX! That was exciting until I realized how hard it is to find one in nice condition.  Then I learned about hacintosh (hackintosh? I’ve seen it spelled both ways) and that some netbooks are really easy to put OSX on! Which got me looking at Dell mini 9′s because it seems to be one of the easiest. Dell mini 9′s weren’t quite what I was looking for though, so I ended up going for the Dell mini 10v which seems to only be slightly harder to install OSX onto. I ordered it from Dell on the 16th and it arrived on the 18th making me a very surprised and very happy girl! (It wasn’t supposed to get here until the 23rd and tracking never updated)

I still haven’t named it, but here it is:

So it’s really awesome. I like it a lot. It’s currently running XP which doesn’t really make me happy, so I may switch to ubuntu in the meantime until I buy a retail copy of leopard.

Also, part of my purchase ($5?) went to help find a cure for breast cancer.

I am of course, pro-boobs.

I have button hate!

Now, I don’t normally bag on vista, but after having it for a while, I’ve noticed one thing I really really hate, and it is this button. I don’t really remember what the middle button did in XP, but I know it wasn’t this. Sometimes I am browsing through my photos, maybe deleting some, or looking for something specific. This probably means I’m using the forward button and maybe sometimes even the back button. Sometimes however, I accidently hit this dumb middle button. You know what this does? First, it freezes my whole computer for roughly 3 seconds. Then, my screen goes black. Then, It scrolls through every picture in that folder slowly. And is difficult to exit. Stupid slideshow button. Go away. No one likes you.

World of Warcraft – because I got really super bored.

Okay, so I started playing world of warcraft. Yeah. I was really bored and Reed (Reflexman08) talked me into giving it a try. I started a 10 day trial, and it was enjoyable.

Now that the 10 day trial is over though, I have decided not to continue it, not that it was ever really a question. I just can’t make myself spend $15 dollars a month on a game. I can justify the $8ish bucks a month for xbox live by the fact that I can play soo many games, but I justify a monthly fee of 15 dollars for one game, no matter how enjoyable it is.
