Sunday Morning.

Back in the library, my real first home.

Suprisingly, getting a decent amount of work done today.  I guess after wasting the last two days, I subconsciously want to get some work done on this wonderful day.

Sharks won last night and have another game tonight.  Two back-to-back wins would be nice.  I would also like to see Greiss play this season.  If they keep letting Nabby play, he's going to be tired in the playoffs and we've seen how that one goes.  They do play Philly today.  Looking back on it, Greiss should have played last night and Nabby should have played today.

Windows 7 is finally installed.  So far, I like it.  The install was long but bug-free (well done MS and Digital River).  I couldn't do a straight upgrade, so the upgrade I bought let me do a clean CD-free install.  It even saved all my old files and programs in a folder on the C drive, so I could access them after.  I saved the important stuff to be safe, but that was an impressive move on MS's part.

It was a little slow at first, but seems to have worked itself out after I installed the chipset driver.  I'm impressed that I only had to install 3 drivers as Win7 figured everything else out.  Firefox was my first install since I've been so impressed with it over the last couple of months.

My new laptop is on order.  I've decided to go with the HP Probook 5310m.  It came out on the same day as Win7 and it's exactly what I'm looking over; I was ready to order it after seeing a couple pictures and reading a few glowing reviews.  It's a business level laptop, so it might not have as many bells and whistles and some other computers, but it makes up for that in sturdy construction and subtle design.  It has a 13" screen, weighs less than 4lb, all metal casing, Core Duo processor, good battery life, and sells for under $1000.  Hell, it even has a linux partition that allows users to access the web from a powered down computer in 20 seconds.  It also keeps them out of Windows, which is a nice safety feature, lest they download something they shouldn't or if you're information is classified.

Thanks to the fact that I'm billing it to CA, but shipping it to FL (so it can be sent out to me), my order has been put on hold.  I'll be calling them on Monday to have it figured out and sent ASAP.
