Speaking of computers, yay for new ones! I won a 3rd PC from work today, and this one came with a couple nice things I’m keeping for myself before passing the system on to my brother.
1. New Monitor – 19″ instead of 17″. Happiness is viewing things at 1280×1024.
2. New Mouse. Happiness is also surfing with back/forward buttons, instead of actually moving my wrist up to the top left of the browser.

I’d also like to share just how geeky I can be, by relaying the following IM conversation after sharing the joke in the prior post:
Todd: What the hell? How did the women win?
peechie: because we’re better. duh.
Todd: Whatever. I call bias.
peechie: bias, or bios?
badum tssss. Thank you folks. I’ll be here all week. Don’t forget to tip your waitress.
Your desk is too small? Maybe this is partly pathetic because I have so few visitors (especially of the male variety) but since I don’t use it, my kitchen table is currently sitting next to my desk and is holding my second monitor. I SERIOUSLY don’t know how I lived without dual monitors before. Seriously.
dual monitors is indeed love.
if you’ve got a video card that supports ’em, anyway.
Nero: the computers aren’t that great – the company raises money for charity by raffling off systems when the warranties have expired (3 years or so). I haven’t run into one that’s better than my existing system yet.
Richard: because my desk is too small, and I draw the line at exhibiting my geekiness that overtly.
Why 19″ *instead of* 17″, and not *in addition to*? Happiness is a dual flat-screen monitor setup! 🙂
Holy shit! Where do you work? I want to win computers where I work!!!
Would you e-mail me, please? Thanks!
