I've never wanted to sleep with a monitor before!

Bought a new computer -- arrived two days ago. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!


I was very nervous about upgrading to Vista -- but Dell really offered no choice. So, I bit the bullet and went for it. I indulged myself - and my failing eyesight - and upgrade to 22" wide screen.

AND NOW I'M IN LOVE!


Vista is just terrific -- easy to understand, easy to work with. I didn't have a lot of stuff to move over -- I really like starting from scratch every five or six years when I get a new computer. I'm as much a pack rat with computer clutter as I am with home clutter -- so I enjoy the cleansing feeling. I needed my auction software - Auction Wizard 2000 -- and it works beautifully with Vista.

But this monitor is the cat's pajamas! I can see it without a second pair of glasses (I pull a Benjamin Franklin and perch a second pair of glasses on in order to read fine print -- and small computer monitors).

In the last three months I feel I've stepped into the 21st century. From dial up to DSL. From 17" monitor to 22" widescreen. Lots of memory, - oh and I didn't even have speakers before a few months ago.

If I could only stop playing on all the new 'stuff' I know my eBay productivity will increase. :)

Oh, and btw -- It is hotter than hell here -- 105 today -- swamp cooler can't keep up. It's over 85 instide.

And, if I can figure out how to post a photo instead of a link -- here's the new love of my life!
