So, my boss gave me my old computer from work to bring home and use. Cool beans. Which lead to me getting DSL, and that became active last Tuesday. I love it.

Alas, my DVD tracking software is on my old computer; all my pictures are on my old computer. And all my software is on my old computer. Fortunately as regards the pictures and DVD database, that's on a secondary disc I can take out of the old computer and put in the new one.

Upgrades I really need for the new computer:

• another 256Mb RAM (to double it)
• My other hard drive
• A DVD burner, or at least a reader with CD burner (but I might as well go for it all, right?)
• better video card, maybe dual-head (currently, my 19" CRT monitor is going to waste at 1280x1024 rather than 1600x1200, at least for full color)
• Get my printer working
• find my WordPerfect CD to install it
• get my Paint Shop Pro 9.0 software installed

This would have just been a dream, but I got a tremendous raise effective 6/1. Most of that money will go towards debt, but I can at least consider these things now and make small purchases along the way.
