hee it is, the muc awaited first ever pot from my very own KOMPUTATOR....All thans to my new favorite store New Egg...After scoring a monitr off the sidewalk and using one of 5 available betworks in my room, I am up and running at $538....I was all sold on getting the mini mac until I walked into the MAC store and everyone who worke there was wearing a black turtle neck ala steve Jobs...I got no love for that behavior....then I stumbled upon Shuttle and realized that some PC makers have style....and best of all I'm learning LINUX......Using firefox is a great intro to open source folks...and if you really wanna kick ass...and have a gig of RAM, then get yoursef a Linnux Live boot CD like Knowpix....A risk free entrance to the corporat free world of computing....more to come in the new world of mine.....since I am learning all this computer stuff as I go, my posts my get pretty geeky here for a while...but I'm trying to put te word out there for novices like myself who are trying new shit.
