Notwithstanding the fact that my dear old Acer is a 1.5Ghz piece of plastic that has to rest on top of a book (Raw Food, Real World) and is as fast as a turtle on Thanksgiving, everything went pretty well.
Surprisingly enough, I lacked access to virtually nothing, as all my relevant docs and services are (more or less) on the cloud.
For the most part, I completely forgot how ancient and out-dated the Acer is, and, as Depeche Mode says, "got [my] head in the cloud[]." Frankly, I no longer want to "see how it feels, with [my] feet on the ground."
In case you're still "utterly bamboozled by all those buttons and knobs," here's a neat pictogram depicting "the cloud."

Aaaawww, remember how we had only seconds till your computer died if it didn't have a plug in.
Remember how we were scared that mine was going to blow.
The good ol' days. :)
Haha, yes!
I also loved how I had to position my power cord at just the right angle or it would beep, really loud, back and forth.
Hey hey! Nice job =D
Do you speak Spanish by any chance?
Oh, by the way, what is the device at the left (that has some cables pupping up)? hehe
Sí, hablo español. Por eso que digo abogado - soy estudiante de la ley.
I think you're referring to the black slim unit. It's an external hard drive, which, I've been using less and less now that I'm transitioning to the cloud.
One USB cord comes from the external, another's from our antiquated printer.
Thanks for the compliment.
Hey I was to say... I have recently tried the new Blogger Template Designer and it's really amazing. Why not try it out?
Giving your blog a new design would be very cool~! And the fonts available in the the new design tool shocked me. Was waiting for something like that :D.
Take a look at the features : http://jmember.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-google-template-designer-amazing.html
Cool, thanks for the tip, JMember.
np ;D
I think you and CCF have the same Acer. Were hoping to replace it one day not too long down the road. Depending on how money is when it is time.
I hear that. Just remember, with Chrome OS coming out soon, you may want to wait and get a machine with Chrome OS installed . . . save hundreds of dollars and tons of Advil (for operating system headaches).
