illusionofjoy | Deficit spending: the bailout plan for my computer (Reply)

It has been done. This afternoon, I brought home my paystub, paid off my credit card bill and then visited New Egg to run up a brand new credit card bill. In the near future I will be the owner of two new 1TB hard drives, 2GB of RAM and an accelerated graphics card. The LCD flatscreen monitor I want will have to wait until the end of the month.

In any case, the process of undoing the damage done by Vundo and then painfully and expensively exacerbated by the Geek Squad has begun. True, all I really needed was a new 200GB hard drive, but I figured now would be a good time to actually upgrade my machine - it's been needing more power for a while now. I triple-checked all the specs before making the order, so hopefully everything will install easily and work as expected. Then I will be a happy computer user (and my poor laptop can finally take a well-deserved rest...poor little fella).
