terrycloth...of the new computer's internet connection etc.
I can't say it went off without a hitch or two -- we had to reformat the hard drive twice because it ran into an error the first time, and when I finally got it home NOTHING WORKED. Luckily, the reason nothing worked was because the hard drive cable had come loose, which is the sort of thing I'm qualified to fix. So, it seems to be working now.
Of course, I still need to get the LAN connections up, and install all kinds of crap, and maybe the printer even (it'd be a lot less obtrusive on the table next to this machine than on the floor in the middle of the living room). And THEN I can start thinking about trying out all those damn MMORPGs people keep talking about... q:3 Or maybe I'll start with AC2.
