Kevin's musings

The last few days here have been very nice (aside from some wind). The Sun is shining, the grass is getting green, and it’s looking like spring all around. Some more signs:

Of course, this is colorado, so we are supposed to get 6-12″ of snow tonight/tomorrow. I hope my apple tree blossoms survive.

Well, impressively I have my compaq presario laptop back and fixed. They sent me a box for it monday, I got that tuesday and shipped it out, they got the laptop thursday, fixed it and shipped it back out priority overnight. I got it friday morning. Popped the drive back in and I was all up and running again.
They replaced the system board and the LCD apparently. I did loose all my stickers that were on the LCD, but a small price to pay, especially since I am just going to sell this laptop off when the thinkpad arrives.

It’s amazing how there’s a mental shift. When I started using the presario again there was about 15minutes of disorentation since I had been using the 1024×600 portege with a pointing stick, and was back to the 1600×1200 trackpad presario. Life’s much better at 1600×1200.

Now, if I could just get a ship date from ibm on the thinkpad.
