new computer

OK, I'm back. Sorry for vanishing like that, and my apologies to anyone who posted a comment or otherwise got in touch that I didn't reply to.

I bought a new computer this weekend. The monitor won't be delivered until Tuesday so I'm still using the old computer right now. The old computer was three years old and starting to show its age. I'd been looking for a new computer for awhile and found a great deal at Staples. The things I'm most looking forward to on the computer are the 512 MB of RAM and the 17" monitor big grin

Since I don't have a lot of money, I pretty much always get the cheapest home model that's being sold. This one is a bit better than that, above what I expected to be able to get, but it was on sale.

Congrats on the new machine. It's always nice to have a new one purring in front of you.

Completely OT, are you as bummed as I am by the news that Talmadge is going to drop out? According to the article, he had the least money of the three, and how awful is it that Sims had more money than Talmadge. And the big above-the-fold article on Gregoire in yesterday's paper wasn't any big surprise. I was hoping I would actually have to make a decision between Talmadge and the Republican candidate but if Gregoire is the Democrat nominee, there's no contest. Wake me on election day.

For those outside the Seattle area, here's the most recent article I found online from the Seattle Times (you may need to register. Sorry).

This reminds me a lot of the way that momentum built up for first Dean and then Kerry in the presidential race and other candidates never got any traction. People don't want to give their support to a dark horse candidate. Of course, without their support that candidate is doomed to remain a dark horse whereas a surprise endorsement of a dark horse could make that candidate competitive.

Believe me, I am anything but thrilled at the "win at all costs" mentality displayed by some Democrats. What's the point of winning if you don't stand for anything by the time you do?

Congrats on the new computer.

I tried to comment a couple of days ago but my wife's 5 year old machine was extremely slow.
