On Its Last Legs, and On The Way Out The Door

No, this post isn't titled about my parents! Sheesh, I could understand you think I am cold-hearted to do that (and I probably would) but at least not until the proper time!

Actually, it is about one of our computers here at home. The one that prior to yesterday was on a dial-up connection to the internet. The good people turned me on yesterday to the high-speed I finally ordered for the home. Needless to say, I think we are down to a CPU speed problem with that HP. I can't remember how many years ago I bought it, but I was playing EverQuest back then, so I know several years. It was one of the better "Gaming Computers" available at the time.

The Wife came home last night, and did the test running of internet high-speed on it, while I was on the regular computer. She said there was basically no difference. I watched for awhile (computers are pretty much side by side) and could see no major change as well. I think it has to do with the speed of processing and the amount of graphics involved. Too much info for that old, slower cpu chip to handle. I told the wife we will have to start watching ads for another CPU to replace this one.

Other than that, I am loving the high-speed! On the newer computer it rocks!

So, I got some movies yesterday while I was out getting the extra ethernet cable. Picked up "Avatar". Also got a 4-pack of Sylvester Stallone: "Demolition Man", "Over the Top", "The Specialist", and "Tango & Cash". What can I say, it was one sale for $12 - that's only $3 a movie!! Plus - I forgot I had ordered a couple from Disney Movies, so in the mail came "Alice in Wonderland" and (I had to get it, we only had it on VHS) "Pretty Woman". I love that movie!

So, I have movies to watch. Fast Internet to play on. And still trying to quit smoking. And cut more on the drinking.

So I am happily miserable??
