So my regular laptop is in fact fixable according to James. He has to order a few parts which should be here in "3-5 days". Whateva...so like, 3-5 days and 100 bucks poorer later, at least the thing will be back in order. It's a Compaq (shut up), and apparently the layout of these machines isn't particularly well thought-out.
So this week I'm on my work Dell, which is certainly good for surfing the web and so forth, but, well, it's tiny and gay. Not that that's a bad thing in of itself, but well, I don't do well with tiny keyboards.
Began piecing some music things in sort of a half-time thing I had together awhile ago, but finally worked out a somewhat tangible arrangement for. Problem? It's almost 13 minutes long (which, if left unedited, would be the longest thing I've ever done). Will revisit tonight, but I suspect this won't be usable for anything in its current state.
That is all.

Yeah...it's the best buy 700 dollar special...I've actually had reasonably good luck with these things over the years.
And that Compaq in college was Angie's AND mine. I still have it (well, Drew does). It's now merrily running Linux and functioning as a download holding tank.

well, we're not using her's anymore. if you want it for parts, or want another one. it's your's for like um... whatever you think it's worth. I actually have ubuntu 7.10 on it. the only real downside, save a few bumps and scratches is that the battery doesn't hold sh*t for a charge. once you unplug it it shuts off. so the battery would need to be replaced. other than that it functions fine. and I did add another 256 of RAM a while back so it has 512 now. we're not actively trying to sell it, but if you want it. let me know.

Thanks...we'll see how this shakes out with James fixing this one. I might take you up on it.
