Computer Stuff & Another Blog

I think I'm ready to start another blog I've been thinking about for a long time: technology for technologically clueless. I think I know just enough to be dangerous. I love gadgets and mildly techy things, so I thought it would be cool to write reviews of some of the things I have (not every cool thing, certainly) and maybe sift through info about other things I'm interested in.  I don't know if it will work, but I'm going to give it a shot.

I'm currently having some tech problems of my own. I believe the data drive on my desktop is failing. This computer is only about 8 months old, so I need to contact Dell and find out what I need to do. I backed up my data to my husband's external drive, because I was having problems with mine.

Also, my new laptop is having issues. It has an iCore7 processor and 6GB ram, but it often runs choppy and acts like it's running out of memory, especially when I try to play Sims 3. Grrrr...

NaBloPoMo, New Laptop, & Windows 7

I haven't used this blog much as I'm more of a LiveJournal addict, but I thought it would be fun to do NaBloPoMo using this blog, since nobody reads it. The goal is to stimulate writing, creativity, and the thought process, and to free me from thinking too much about who might be reading. I also want to start up a couple of other blogs (not for NaBloPoMo) and get them going as well, and just see what happens.

I'm writing this on my brand new laptop, which is cool, though it's not easy to get used to the keyboard. I've been busy installing things on this computer and transferring/duplicating some things from my desktop.

I also upgraded my desktop to Windows 7 last week, so I'm still working on getting that up to spead again as well. My goal on both computers is to keep them streamlined and only install what I really need and will use.

Okay, off to install The Sims 3. Secretly I'm hoping that Santa will bring me Sims 3 World Adventures this year, but I doubt it.
