I've known it's been coming for a while - but it's still very sad. My computer died tonight. Luckily I have a spare laptop, but I need a better computer for my work because this thing is soooo slooooowwww.

On the bright side, I'm going to get a new computer!

I'll do more site work once I get it. Hopefully will be soon. I need to do some research, because I NEED the best value for money; I cannot throw my money away because I don't HAVE any. I have a credit card. Which hasn't been clear of debt for a LONG time. Last May, in fact. Eyes tight
Sigh.

Ahh, I know the feeling of watching a computer slowly die... I keep thinking that if I upgrade mine enough, I won't need to part ways with it...

Sigh >.<

Heheh luckily every time mine has contemplated dying I have some spare cash. I'm sure it must know that too.

Over time far Ye Olde Acre Aspire has received a new graphic's card , cd drive , dvd drive , 2 1gb sticks of Ram.

Thus far she's happy with these and hasn't given me any problems *touch wood* I know she's not the fastest pc out there, but she keeps keepin' on Big Grin
