TOMORROW is the long-awaited big day. I’m leaving for Kendall Drive in the morning, and I’m heading straight to Circuit City to buy my sparkling new state-of-the-art desktop computer system. It’ll be my first store-bought computer system in about 9 years (that was an HP Pavilion 6545C desktop), and it’ll be my first replacement computer system in nearly 3½ years (that was a used HP Pavilion ZT1290 laptop that was new in 2002 but bought by me in 2005). Every single blog entry that you have ever read from me was done on that laptop, and she shall retire from active duty tomorrow once I bring home my new baby !
Oh yeah I’m also buying this sparkling new flat-panel LCD widescreen monitor to replace my longtime monitor of the past 9 years.
2008 computer technology arrives in my home tomorrow !
Until we hang out again here on the big blog (via my fresh new computer system) REMEMBER THIS classic Circuit City television commercial from 1994 when the 486 SX / 33 was state-of-the-art, and Packard Bell was a household name.

I have decided that laptops are the way to go. I can always turn a laptop into a desktop with a bluetooth wireless keyboard and an external monitor. But they do cost more. As a result, when I replace a computer I usually end up with something “behind the curve” because I go for a laptop that is a model or two behind the state of the art top of the line model.
About time Mr. Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
