Well subject says it all - got the new puter all set up, and it's course very fast with one Gig of ram in it - coming from 128 megs it's a big jump!
I am currently installing programs, copying my files from my other puter *which is networked and will be used as backup) and waiting for poor support to get back to me with some more unlock codes for games, Lol!
I also have a new set of speakers - 2.5 setup (think it's called - with the big base speaker and the two little ones either side). and I even tried playing the demo of troop 1 without headphones and I can do it, though will probably still end up using headphones, but my music of course sounds perfect on it! as much base as I need to annoy my poor neighbours! :)
Dad had it all set up by 1 Sat morning (he's keen) but yesterday we had a few problems installing jaws with these current drivers. I mean why I can't install jaws just out the box, I'll never know but we usually use these other drivers which we couldn't get going. So we were starting to wonder if this motherboard was too modern for poor little jaws, but luckily, upon request, [livejournal.com profile] khoath came to our rescue and helped us with the location of drivers etc. He was chatting Dad through it (while I was getting ready for my course. So I left and by the time I arrived home (at about 12.30 this morning, jaws was on here but I didn't find that out til this morning.)
so yeh Dad just picked me up these speakers and has just left.
so now I don't know myself with this new, super fast computer! gone from very old to one of the newest out there! :) Lol
So yesterday I made a reasonably smooth journey (not many express trains to worry about) to Armadale.
There's two others in my group who are really cool! and it is course better to work in a small group! anyway I should have planned my piece more. I am very camera shy for some annoying reason. but we got a lot done yesterday and by some simple things as "calling the camera our friend" we can be more relaxed and things, Lol! twas very good four hours though!
Then I went to flinders, went to KFC and had tea while waiting for the rest of them to meet up with. We all met up, they had subway then we went in two cabs to where [livejournal.com profile] lauren_kh was. It was awesome to see her again of course and meet her family (and some of her other friends for first time). It was extremely crowded though. And after the speeches (which were great) J and I got a cab back (ended up that M came with us so it was a cheapish fair! :) A, M and M stayed on! I was zonked though! Lol Turns out we probably could have got the train back as I have a feeling they go later on sunday mornings. but ah well, we were all so tired of standing!
anyway so that's my latest!
Now to go and install more progs and copy my audio stuff!
Til Next Time, RdFreak
