new machine

I bought a new machine several weeks ago, and am just now getting around to posting the specs. This is the first machine where I was basically able to get what I wanted. If I could go back I would have upgraded to the 19 in. monitor but oh well.

Intel Pentium 4 (3.2GHz) w/HT Technology and 1MB cache
1GB DDR2 SDRAM at 400MHz
17 in (17 in viewable) E173FPB Flat Panel Display
256MB Nvidia GeForce 6800 Graphics Card
80GB Hard Drive 
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
48x CD-RW and 16X DVD+/-RW

To go with the new machine, I have a cable internet connection and am running a wireless network. I am so glad to be off of dialup. I think I was the last of my friends to leave the ol? 56k modem. I think it will be good for Leslie also. She use to not be able to check her e-mail very often because by the time she got the old windows 98 machine booted and logged on, she would have to getup to take care of John David. Then, by the time she got back to it she would have lost the connection.

By the way Leslie made a post or two about the birth of Elliot. Go check them out.
