Dude ...

I have just ordered a shiny new desktop. (I know, wrong century's ad slogan ...)

2GHz Core Duo processor. 500Gb hard drive. 2Gb RAM. 19" flat panel.
(Okay, not quite bleeding edge. I don't need bleeding edge, I just want something with room to breathe!)

It may be the cheapest computer I ever bought, with the possible exception of the 1989 Amstrad, and allowing for inflation and exchange rates even that isn't certain.

ETA: It won't actually ship for a couple of weeks, though. Which probably means it will show up (at work) when I'm in Boulder.

(no subject)

Regardless of the auto-post that briefly appeared here, I am not at the Phoenix airport. There may well be another auto-post in due course; the things are very delayed-action, presumably because everybody is trying to do it at once.

In the meantime, I think it would be a good idea for me to go to bed early and not do any more mousing or typing tonight. My right wrist is acting up a bit, probably in reaction to the amount of copyediting I've been doing on the small laptop lately.
