Should Auld Computers Be Forgot ...
Friday, 20. June 2008, 00:39:08
Thursday, the 29th of May, 2008, and - unable to throw anything out - David Scott Aubrey banishes his sturdy old workhorse of a computer to a dark, dusty room full of cobwebs.
That's right, my old 1992 AST Bravo 5133 with 64 Mb of RAM, an Original Pentium processor and 1.8 Gb of hard disk space running Windows 98SE with a Canon BJC 210 printer is finally being put out to pasture.
But never fear, ladies and gentlemen, because it's being replaced by my new Intel Celeron 540 1.8GHz Processor, 80Gb Hard Drive, 512 Mb RAM, graphics accelerator 528 Mb Compaq Presario C731TU Notebook (which - in the olden-days - used to be called a laptop) running Vista Home Basic with a Canon Pixma MP610 MFC. And - from Paint Shop Pro 7 - I'm being slapped in the frontal lobes with the learning curve of Photoshop CS3 ...
... which is why I haven't been around for a while. It's just all so new and there's a lot to take in!
Microphone, webcam, voice control, ADSL, Office 2003 (up from '97) ...
... did I mention it was all just so new and a lot to take in?
(Yes, I know it's not Thursday, the 29th of may, 2008 any more ... but ... uh ... it's all just so new and there's a lot to take in ... ?
