Computer's back up

Yep, after going without my own computer for a couple days there, it’s back from the shop and up and working again. Thank you, Dell.

Since I didn’t have my own computer, I realized a few things that I’d forgotten were so important.

  1. Thanks to online storage and a thumb drive that holds (only) 8 GB, my entire hard drive fit on my thumb drive. <<That is amazing.
  2. I like my mini laptop much better than the larger, wide screen versions. The others are too clunky now – they don’t even fit on my lap. I can take my mini anywhere.
  3. I have too many extras and shortcuts set up on my own computer. Other computers feel handicapped now. Fact: I’m officially a geek.

What do you love about your computer?

[Irony: I wrote this post, but it published a day late. Evidently, my computer’s back up, but I’m still out of it. I fell asleep with my computer in my lap.]

  1. hahaha! i feel like all other computers are handicapped too! i am so used to everything on my own computer. i have a mac and i use safari to browse the internet…i feel paralyzed when i can’t see my top sites. (it’s one of the best web browser features EVER…google chrome has it too…you should check it out if you haven’t already!) i also feel paralyzed when i can’t use my shortcuts! and when i don’t have my adobe programs and all that goes with them!

  2. Yeah, I’m almost afraid of getting a Mac. That’s way too snobbish. 🙂 (Kidding… I probably would if I could.)

    I’ve been considering Google Chrome for a while, and I actually do use it sometimes. My primary browser right now, though, is Flock (plus some other stuff). It has a Top Sites feature too.

    Glad to hear I’m not the only freak out there.

    ^Funny how this is coming from two friends who met online. 🙂

  3. Hey, we’re living in the 21st century! We’re allowed to have online friends 🙂

    As for having a mac, here is my justification: I was a graphic design major. Haha.

    And, I’m embarrassed to admit I have never heard of Flock! I hope I didn’t lose any of my nerdy points I am so proud of! 😛

  4. No problem… I should probably switch away from Flock right now actually, but I’m too lazy to try to add everything to Chrome instead. I’m slowing making the shift.

    But yeah, I didn’t know you were a graphic design major. In college, you guys always had your own computer labs with sweet A/C, while the rest of us crammed into the overly hot, PC labs. I forgive you, though. I love design stuff.

  5. Does Chrome have the feature where it automatically moves all your bookmarks and stuff? I thought it did…hmmm….

    Yep, I was a graphic design major! And a Christian studies major! 🙂 Fun times! But if it makes you feel any better, our super cool graphic design lab didn’t have air conditioning OR wifi. Haha. 😛

  6. I don’t know what you mean about Chrome moving bookmarks and stuff. I guess I haven’t used it enough.

    …

    No WiFi? Where they jacked in, or did they totally not have Internet?

  8. Okay, I could see that then: faster and stronger connection.
