I've advanced to 2005!
That's right, I got a "new" computer, in the sense that it's new to me. My brother just bought a (real) new computer and so he gave me his old one which he got in 2005. My computer is from 1999 so this is a pretty big step up for me.
This thing is sooo much faster it's incredible. Loading up a huge page of 50 posts on this site is now measured in seconds instead of minutes. I can now watch videos on YouTube using the high-quality setting without them being choppy or delayed. And I'm sure this'll do wonders for my video-editing software; maybe now I can actually EDIT videos without causing choppiness and de-syncing! Not to mention how much faster converting them should be.
Before he gave it to me though, to get rid of all of his old stuff he re-installed Windows. He says this means I'll need to download some drivers to get things like the sound to work... I have NO idea what that means so I'll just have to ask him about that over the weekend.
