Computers (why this one in my room is a Good Thing)
I haven't been very happy with computers lately. Why?
First, Adam put a new video card in the server, the one everybody likes to use, the one that's comfortable to sit at, making it very difficult to read text on screen. It works excellently well with games, though...
Second, DeVry upgraded to Win2K, losing their Flash 5.0 plugin in the process. Result? Any time I try and check my Yahoo mail, I get bombarded with prompts to download Flash. I would, happily, but DeVry has not seen fit to give me administrative rights. Drat.
Third, the other computer at home that I worked from had suddenly had its screen size shrink drastically, for no reason I could notice, and is on the floor in a place that's very bad to work from.
Garbled gabble letters, pop-ups and inconvenient hours, or side scrolling and wrist pain? What a choice. Now, with a computer on my own desk, I can sit here, without worrying I'm going to klutzily crash into the server tower, earning grouches from Adam, without running over any little toes with my chair, without having to be courteous to the other people in the living room.
