Dude you got a Dell

Jen took a little bit of the money she got from her Unemployment check and bought me a new computer. She was going to get me a new Mac being as mine is dead, but we decided on a Dell in stead. They are cheaper by far.

So far I’m digging it. It came packaged  with Windows 7. So far so good. It runs almost exactly like Mac OS X tiger. Complete with the doc.

Got a few good points too. I’m currently using the Windows Live blog writer to post this from my desktop. It’ll sync up with blogger and post for me. Which is good. Down side, apparently Itunes is not yet windows 7 compatible. When I tried to install it there was a recommendation from apple that I don’t do it. Strange.

Also, strangely it does not come with any sort of e-mail program. Though a quick download of Thunderbird took care of that problem. Firefox, Aim and Vuze seem to run great also.

Now onto the tech speak for those out there that like that kinda stuff.

2.2 GHz Intell Core 2 Duo

And I had to go with the Backlit Keyboard cause they are just cool.  (But not as cool as my wife.)
