It's finally here! :)

Welcome one and all to my very first post from my NEW computer!!! Yaaaay!!

We had a bit of an adventure setting it up.. I got it all connected, put in the special graphics card that I had bought for my old computer, and went to turn it on.. where's the on button? Oh, there it is.. ok.. Oooh, it lights up a pretty blue! Ok, here we go... what?

Disk boot error. Insert system disk and press enter.

You've got to be kidding me. *looks through stuff that came in the box and finds no CD's* What the heck is going on? Um.. are they serious with this?

Well.. maybe it's the graphics card.. OK, let's take that out. Hubby takes it out, and turns it on again.

Same error. WHAT IS GOING ON??? This should not be like this, it should be ready to go out of the box, that's the whole POINT! So we look at all the connections.. hm. If this over here is the hard drive, shouldn't it have more than one cable coming out of it? That's how I've always seen it.. Let's see if this multicolored cable connection fits over here. Oh, it does! That looks better, let's see.

*click*

*wait*

And it started setting up Windows Vista. OMG. Someone didn't connect that one little cable. We were all ready to start calling HP and everyone we could think of to figure out what was going on.

So anyway, I am enjoying things so far, I have a new keyboard, which will take some getting used to. The keys are a lot flatter than the ones on my old keyboard, so my fingernails keep pressing keys they're not supposed to. F in particular, I'm not sure why. I think I've got IE7 too, I'm hoping it will work better on this computer than it did on my old one. If not, there's always Firefox! :) But Vista seems pretty user-friendly. Pretty much all I have to do is learn how the menus are set up, and I should be fine!

I'm in the process of downloading WoW now... the downloader says I've got about three hours. Then once it's installed, I have to patch it, because there have been several patches already since they released the Burning Crusade. Oh well. Tomorrow I'll see what WoW runs like! I'm excited! :)
