Almost everything Fred needs to build our new computers arrived this morning via FedEx. Because I am kind and wonderful (and because I WANT my new computer ASAP), I brought the boxes to him at his office. There, he and Tex will start putting them together. The last of the pieces will arrive Thursday, and voila! I’ll be spending my weekend installing all the programs I need on my brand-spankin’-new computer. Whee! Hm. Ya think I should start backing stuff up?
Nah. I’ve got ages to do THAT.

From my comments:
I get the notify when you post but now I can no longer just click on the link and get your site. What is wrong with my computer? I can’t ask the company computer guy.
Do you mean it’s not a clickable link – ie, you have to cut and paste it – or does something else happen when you click it? Can you get to the main page if you type in the url? If not, I’d suggest that maybe your company has installed a program to keep employees from visiting possible porn (or other “bad”) sites; otherwise, I’m clueless.
Wow, your schools start early down there. Up in the Northeast, almost all schools start right after Labor Day. When does the school year end down there.
The school year ends toward the end of May here – I think May 20th was the last day of school this year. I would much prefer to have the school year end a little later, and start a bit closer to Labor Day, but no one asks ME.
A yellow case? Where in the world did he find a yellow case?!!?
Here! Look, it’s clear on the side! Fancy, no?
New Computers! Soooo does this mean the old one’s go up on the giveaway page 😉
Heh. Uh, NO. We’re giving one to his parents if they want it, and donating the other to an area school.
Just how big is this school? And how many buses are there? I swear we had three minutes to get to class in high school, and there couldn’t have been more than maybe 5-6 buses. Maybe I’m not remembering it right, though, since I went to school when Home Economics was called Home Economics. (What do they call Shop? Wood Dynamics?)
It’s BIG. They just added on to it because as big as it already was, it wasn’t big ENOUGH. 1489 kids are enrolled in the high school – it’s the only high school in Madison. I’m not sure how many buses there are, but when I was driving around the school yesterday I saw four buses parked, and another two or three headed toward the school. I have no idea what they call shop these days – I’ll have to look in the spud’s course catalog!
In the UK kids have 6 weeks summer holidays. How long do they have in US? Just being nosey…
I just went and counted, and apparently she had 10 weeks off for summer vacation!
…you’ve probably mentioned this before, but I was curious as to what kind of camera you used to take all the cats’ pictures. They look so good!
Our “main” camera – the one we use the most – is a Sony Cybershot DSC-V1 (5.0 megapixels!) Our old camera, the one that I carry around in my purse in case a photo opportunity comes up, is a Sony Cybershot DSC-P50.
