Foxxy
I am drunk with post-purchase euphoria, basking in the novelty of a new toy.
Yes, I have finally bitten the proverbial, yet still dangerous, bullet, and bought a laptop. I’m now making my first post from my snazzy, chrome and silver, 17 inch screen (which admittedly decreases portability… but it’s sooo pretty), Dell Inspiron 9300. Of course, coupled with the novelty factor is the feeling of having spent a wad of Rupees as thick as a hardcover book, but its balanced by that added injection of pride at having gotten a good deal. Afterall, if I consider myself a writer, which I’m gradually coming around to, then this is an essential tool… right?… right?
In addition, another excitement, is that I finally have a computer of my own, can stop being dependent on friend’s and work machines (cutting the USB apron cables) and try to get back to this blog with some gumption. And I do love gumption. What this means, particularly, is that I can finally ditch glitchy Internet Explorer and switch over to my beloved FireFox. So this is also my first post from the superior FireFox browser. It’s a day of foxxy firsts. If you haven’t already, go download the Firefox Browser… I mean right now. You won’t regret it.
I can hear Hulleye grinning from here.
I hope you get this laptop thing figured out a little bit better. It is nice to read a new blog, but 4 of the same ones… come on buddy!
I would say drunk on more then euphoria! 4 of the same posts.
And firefox rules.
Ha-ha yeah, laugh it up. Try using internet connections over here for a while and then we’ll chat.
gmail dont work on my firefox. real pain
That’s strange, Gmail works just fine for me. Maybe try downloading the latest version of Firefox, but other than that I guess I’d have to see it to suggest something else.
Anyone have any suggestions?
It must be Mik’s connection, Gmail works fine on my firefox as well… Congrats on the shiny new toy
Mik’s just trying to get attention!!
aah! the purring of a new processor! music!!
Hah!
And now, almost exactly three years later, I’m still using the same laptop. A little scuffed around the edges, but still going strong. Of course, the battery hasn’t held a charge in over a year, and I had to tear the whole thing apart and vacuum three pounds of Karachi dust out of the fans and heat-sinks, but other than that, all good.
Thus the glories of running Ubuntu… your three years old obsolete system still feels like new.
