So last year.. just over a year ago my computer crashed and we never found out why, we just replaced it a few months later. Well, the other day this computer I'm on (Dell Dimension 5100) decided to not load up at all so I thought it was broken. Well, yeah, my mom remembered my grandma telling her something about a battery in the computer. So, my mom's checking out the computer, replaces this stupid battery, and it works again. Brilliant!

Anyway, this is the good part.. For some dumb reason, we kept my old computer around in the basement. As luck would have it, my mom thought to replace its stupid battery today and.. bam!.. it works. So now I have every last Photoshop chop I've EVER done and I can't wait to whore the Chops thread with my own personal shrine of my chops (including the beloved C6 with Nomad headlights ).

First, though, we have to get a mouse for it because the wireless laser mouse we had won't work on it anymore. And my sister's old mouse won't work on it for some reason.. it's just a basic mouse. Maybe there's something wrong with the computer? Who knows.. but I can't wait to share all my old chops again!

Sweet!

Computers are strange, aren't they?

He, he. thats so cool. But it's like i always say "nothings broken until you've tried everything to make it work."

My old computer is stowed in my closet. Nothing's wrong with it other than a memory defecit and it needs a new monitor. I guess I could upgrade it and have a decent computer. But first I need to earn some money; I haven't had a job since the beginning of June. And there's nothing holding me back from getting another, it's just that I wanted to enjoy my summer break (really haven't) before signing back on with some dinky grocery store.

Going back and seeing old work, if be a short story, sketch, photoshop, whatever, is like visiting old friends that you feel more than embarassed for.

Uh, you could have always pulled the hard drive out of the old machine and put it in the new machine a year ago....

That didn't stop me from trying to give my old computer a CD burner!

Problem is, when I installed it, it wasn't CD's that got burnt.

I have a computer going on 8 years old and i can fire up and get the documents i need off it shut it down and put it away for another 6 months. Never even opened up the case on that one yet.

But my current computer i have been upgrading alot like today i bought a 300 gig hardrive with 16mb Cache and i bought a graphics card soon im going to put a new motherboard in it with a better chipset.
