I'm getting my new computer all configured.
The first thing that happened was it took me a half hour to figure out how to turn my wireless card on. That was fun.
The first thing I downloaded was Webshots, because I need my screensaver like burning and I clearly have my priorities straight. That actually went without a hitch. It was hitchless. And this makes me suspicious.
Right now I'm grabbing OpenOffice. I still need Spybot, VLC, and a decent anti-virus (because Norton and MacAfee can blow me, the frelling resource hogs). I need a DVD/CD drive, and I think I might buy an MS Word suite, because that's the *expletive deleted* industry standard. Yuck. Usually MS can blow me too, but, you know. Industry stuff. Until I have a way of installing things via CD, I'm going to use OpenOffice.
And I need to get my pictures and documents and all that other happy horse poo transferred over as well. And then I can pass this puter over to the Hubby and he can sell the HP that's on its last legs on eBay.
