New Computer! Whoot!
On Thursday I got my federal tax money back and decided in addition to paying off a few bills that I would get myself a new computer, as my old was was 6 years old and I was beginning to run into problems with not enough ram with the programs I was running. So far I am absolutely loving it! I’m still in the process of getting the programs I most use installed on it but the speed and processing power that it has will suit my needs with my graphic programs completely.
