It’s a screamer

The new computer arrived late last week. It screams with a 3.0 GHz processor, tons of RAM and a sweet ATI video card. I also added a Sound Blaster Audigy card that’s awesome.

It came with a 15″ LCD monitor that I’ll use with the Apache server. Is it me or do other people find LCD monitor’s VERY cool. When will they ever come down in price? We’d love to get a small flat screen TV for the kitchen but it’s hard spending $600 on one.

With the new system and its heavy-duty video card, I’m finally able to play Far Cry. I’m still on the first level but I can say this is the best videogame I have ever played. The graphics are unbelievable and you’re totally immersed in a great story and lots of action.

MusicPlasma is cool. It’s a neat search engine for music. The interface reminds me of Kartoo.

Pam’s PT was smashed the other day. The damage isn’t too bad, and Pam is OK but it’s a huge hassle going through the repair process. Thankfully I secured a free loaner car while it’s “in the hospital.” On the way home from the repair shop I was behind this rusted junker of a car.

It made me wonder how long this person has been driving around with his car like that. Only 1 of the 3 brake lights worked, the right mirror was missing and the windshield had a huge crack. Maybe it’s time to institute vehicle inspections to get these dangerous pieces of crap off the roads.
