VectorSatyr Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 I doubt any of you have been wondering about my particular lack of activity lately. Truth is, I've been without a computer to call my own for some time. The adapter outlet on my old HP Pavilion ze2000 finally gave up on me a few days after my vacation, so the lifeless computer is currently sitting next me, dead as wood and kicking dust. I've only been able to reach here through the computers at my school, or through LinkG07s. (@Moderators: If you've noticed any posts similar to my own that were deleted as LinkG07s, its because I forget when he's logged in sometimes) About a week ago, my mother was feeling generous and suggested I buy a new notebook. We ended up getting two Dell Inspiron 1501s - one for me, one for my mother and her mother. Hers' came with Windows Vista, 15"4' screen, better wireless power, a spare battery, a wireless mouse, some Hoyle Card Game, and Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition 2008. As for mine: OS: XP Home Edition Processor: AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual-Core Processor TK-55, MMX, 3DNow, ~1.8GHz Display: ATI Radeon Xpress 1150, 14" Inches Audio: SigmaTel Memory: 446MB RAM DirectX Verson: 9.0c I could have gotten Soundblaster, but that only comes with Vista models... damn Vista... I also bought a new Netgear router for an extra $50 bucks (to replace my crappy HawkingTech one). Took me a full day to get it working, due to some complications. (note to self: don't use installation disks for routers) Once I finally got it working (a half hour ago), the internet ran dead slow at first, but now it's almost 150% better than the previous box, AND wifi connection seems to work spectacularly by comparison, as well. Feels good to be back in the game... feels good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 I've been using Vista for a few months now, it really isn't all that bad when you eliminate 75% of the programs in msconfig, turn off that "User Control" crap, and a few other things I forgot. On topic: Congrats. I actually was wondering where you went. I just figured you were losing interest in Sonic. Impossible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayling Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Cool. I want a laptop for Xmas, but my parents are too cheap, and I can't afford it. Whenever we have a problem though, it's always MY fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shadix Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Sure, those specs won't get you much track in the long run, but at least you finally have a computer to call your own again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorSatyr Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 need any of the midi and MP3 that you posted that I might have saved? That depends on what you have. I'd have to hear them to remember which ones I still need, but most of them I could recompose off the top of my head if I wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rael0505 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 That depends on what you have. I'd have to hear them to remember which ones I still need, but most of them I could recompose off the top of my head if I wanted to. because you're a fuckin stud I have everything you've ever made that you've released (and we both know you sent me a lot on AIM) so if there's anything you need you can come to me too. I was wondering where you went, I'm glad you weren't getting bored of us. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
