Welcome to the 1990s

I finally replaced my computer this week. I thought it necessary after finding myself whack the monitor with the palm of my hand to correct the sepia toned picture for the past two days. After my third reboot of the day, I traveled to my local discount electronics megastore and purchased a new slick black light-speed machine. My old paperweight was a Pentium II(400mhz) Compaq running(on rainy days only) Windows 98SE. When I told my friend Adam about the purchase he said "Welcome to the 1990s!"

I'm still transferring stuff over, but my widescreen monitor already helps with music scoring in Finale. Plus, the computer is fast enough that I can play Peter Gabriel's concert videos with no problem.
Running Windows Vista, I had to click on "Classic" mode to get things organized. (I've run Windows 98 for almost 10 years, and I hate how new versions hide, er, organize things). But, soon I'll have M-Powered Pro-tools running and other VSynths and music programs that I somehow made work on the old machine. Hopefully, I'll have a new demo of music stuff out by early next year. That's the plan anyway. But, then again, I planned on posting every week, too. At, least I'll save time by not playing "whack-a-monitor" every 5 minutes.
