This is going to be my next computer.

I'm really liking the idea of a nice, clean operating system without all the clutter. I don't need three media players I can't uninstall, and four instant messengers I have "just in case." Plus, it gives me the chance to DITCH MICROSOFT without putting up with Macs, which are just as bad.

I plan on installing Ubuntu-eee on it to free up some space on the tiny 4 gig hard drive. It sounds small as all hell, but my needs are simple.

I'll let you know how things go with it... as soon as I obtain it, of course.

I haven't forgotten about you, dear reader.

Things have not been easy lately. I lost my beloved golden retriever, Gabriel, and the only thing that gets me through that thought without popping a vein is the idea of giving another little puppy a good home. Maybe I'll post more about that later, but I'm drained right now. The holiday was low-key, but decent once I finally got done with my family. A bit of aggravation there, and I'm not sure if it's over or not. I'm also without a gall bladder now.

Meh. The short version, dear reader, is that things have been rough here, and I needed a break. I think I'm ready to post again, though, and I got a better camera for Christmas, so I should be able to post more and better videos for ya. I've already got some that I will probably put up soon.

So thanks for your patience, or else thanks for rediscovering me over here.
