That ain't no computer, man. That's a friggin rocket! A starship! With that thing, we will be able to get your messages even before you are done typing them. I bet you can't wait. I'm feeling rather inferior now. It's been a long time since I've upgraded. Still running Windows '98. But I guess it's fast enough for now. I blew my toy money on a new set of golf clubs that I practice swinging in the snow. Aside from my PC locking up on me every other day, I guess it's good enough for now. Part of that is due to the Xbox I bought for the kids to play their games on. I haven't been eating up hard drive space and feeling the lack of processor speed. They have some really amazing games out there now. I have a few favorites. Right now I've been playing Tiger Woods Golf a lot. It helps me get through the winter. It also has taught me more about golf shot strategy and basic club adjustments depending on the type of shot and it's lie. But the real reason I like it is because it allows me the closest feeling to what I'll ever get to playing at St. Andrews, The Highlands course in Scottland, Pebble Beach, Spy Glass, Saw Grass, and a bunch of those other famous courses. I hope they eventually allow a video game version of Augusta National. The graphics are phenominal. The 3D imaging and ball action is so realistic. You compete against Tiger, Calcaveccia, Furyk, Ty Tryon, Mark O'Meara, Brad Faxon, and a few others. I really dig it. Especially the Highlands course. I never knew much about it. It winds through ancient castle ruins and along the cliffs of the coastline. Some of the Star Wars games are pretty neat also. My PC used to have so much trouble with many of these games. It seemed as if I needed to upgrade more often due to their processor and video card requirements. Now I can just type on this PC. Lettuce know when you have it all connected. I bet it boots up a lot faster. Sounds like you got a heck of a deal. I got PC envy. -Mr450MegaHurts
