New Toy, oh-oh-oh!

I'm on vacation all week, but I decided to give up a couple of hours of my free time today to get my new work laptop. To get the new one I had to turn in the old one and wait a bunch of hours, then drive back and get the new one. Worth it! Shiny! The new laptop is a ThinkPad T-61, which is pretty awesome. Widescreen, lots more RAM, bigger HD, wifi seems more stable. Whee!

I spent the last couple of weeks idly making files more organized and moving most things to my external hard drive anyway, so the move itself was fairly painless — I finished cleaning off the old laptop last night. I never leave that stuff to my IT department.

I've already got a bunch of extra apps installed and I'm most amused by the Google desktop gadgets. I have a few more applications to install, but overall this day is filled with win! Shiny pretty win!

The only thing better than shiny new gadgets are shiny new gadgets you don't have to pay for (-:

Oh absolutely. In fact, the shiny laptop is one of the best perks of this job. I wouldn't buy myself a laptop (1. cheap, 2. break things a lot) but I sure appreciate them hugely!
