DISCLAIMER: Total egotistic rant to follow shortly.
Okay sports fans, here's the update. After my last encounter with the computer kind, I was a little discouraged about the whole PC business. Now, however, that's all gone bye-bye!
Anyway, now I've got an HP [*boooo* Compaq! *boooo*...even though they're both owned by the same company] Pavilion desktop with an AMD Athlon 64 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB hard drive, and two little CD tray thingies with Lightscribe on one and/or both of them [you guessed it, I totally just read that off the front stickers]. Pretty good, eh? I mean, it's no NASA super computer, but it will serve my purposes
