Well, I went out and bought a new computer. I settled on a desktop, and so far, I've been pretty happy with it. The only exception is it won't let me install Photoshop 7, which bums me out. Photoshop 6 and Illustrator seem to be working okay, which is a relief, but I'm always a skeptic.
Bit torrent and the rest of my stuff went back on just fine. I do have a few issues with Norton's fire wall messing with Bittorrent if it's left on, but shutting it off seems to do the trick. Not a good idea, I know, but what can you do? *laughs*
We've installed some spyware combantants, which are pretty cool. Strict too, but that's okay.
I've now got a cd burner and dvd burner (with something called light-scribe which I'll probably never use).
My cousin will probably kill me, but it's an HP. HP Pavillion 819. I almost got a Sony, as I expected, but they were so UGLY! I really didn't like the way they were made...well, the ones I could afford, that is. *laughs* I was so happy to know that the restore disk came with seperate cd's for several programs...so I won't have to reformat if something goes wrong like last time! None of that "You'll have to delete everything or buy the program yourself" shit I got from E-machines. Dirty Bastards!
A big thanks to J, who spent all evening shopping with me and helping me put everything up. Acutally...he did all the work. I watched TV. *laughs* You're so awesome! Thanks a million!
