I got nothing for Christmas this year, but my computer did rather well. Her first Christmas present — from Santa Clause — was 1MByte of RAM. My son installed it, upgrading my system from 512 KB to 1.25MB. The transformation is amazing; where before my computer was limping along like a geriatric vampire stranded between blood donor clinics, now it’s skipping around from task to task like a wild teenager called Bella.
My computer’s second acquisition was a wireless mouse donated by my son. It’s working perfectly, and I expect it’s doing what it’s designed to do, but I’m not sure I can live with it. Who can live with a hyperactive mouse? My old one — the one with the tail — was sluggish, downright non-cooperative at times; this new one has power steering and a sport button, marked “DPI”. Even without pressing the button, it’s all over the place busy-busy like a worker-ant on steroids. It makes me dizzy. Heaven only knows what it gets up to on its own while I’m in bed, asleep.
While JJ’s away, the mouse will play eh?
Maybe you need a cat? 😉
Here’s hoping it’s not messing with your writing at night.
Please tell me it was 1Gig of memory replacing 512Meg?:o)
geriatric vampire. Snort!
GGN: I had 2×256 MB in 2 slots
Now I have 1×256 and 1x1GB in the 2 slots.
(Actually, it was so successful, I bought another 1GB, so I now have 2GB, one in each slot)
