A Much Needed Tool
So I was finally able to purchase my friend’s old laptop that he needed to get rid of. It’s a IBM ThinkPad R40 4 – M 2.4 GHz, and compared to the old 300 MHz Celeron I have been using, I am no longer considered in the stone age, and I am no longer becoming increasingly frustrated every time I sit down and try to do anything that requires me to multitask.
I am already putting it to great use, but the plan was to a) get a more modern computer and turn the old one, which I have named Gandhi, into an iTunes only machine, b) have something I can hog until my roommate gets his computer up and running again since I had the only working machine in the apartment, and c) complementing (b) even more by allowing me to have something that enables me to be on when I want and spend as much time as I want online without feeling guilty of being a computer hog.
Plus, now more than ever, I can finally settle down and focus on writing more, which was a very frustrating experience when I tried to do this on Gandhi while also trying to simultaneously creating a stimulating environment that allows me to write more. I can have my music going on Gandhi, or even stream it to my new laptop, which I am calling Buddha, and write all at that same time, and I feel I am just more focused when I have music going on in the background as I write (TV and other things are too distracting for me).
So all in all I am a pretty happy camper write now, and hopefully you’ll be seeing some more updates on both of my websites from this point further.
As always, thanks for your continued patronage.
