Ken and I are enjoying a Christmas gift a little early (which is unheard of in this house). Our new Dell Inspiron 530 desktop arrived on Friday. Ken waited until yesterday to open it, and I finally set it up today.
Wow ... it's fast. For the tech geeks out there, it has an Intel Core2Quad processor, which means this baby should be able to handle photos and videos with ease. The hard drive has 640 GB. Hello, how can I possibly use that much? There are other fancy specs, but I'm too tired to remember them now.
What I can tell you is that the tower is smaller than our previous, 6-year-old Dell, it's quieter, and so much faster. We're running Vista. I have no complaints so far. But I'm not that picky, either. All I know is that I can now sit down, check my email and even check a website before Kelsey even notices I've left her bedroom.
(Oh, it also means that the webcam we purchased for Christmas last year now works. We could never successfully connect on a video call, and it became obvious it was our PC's fault. Today, it worked effortlessly.)

What, no Mac?
And a 640GB hard drive?! Wow! Better make sure you get an external one to back up all the photos and video you're gonna store.
We already have one, since our old PC was on the fritz long ago. I moved all of our photos to it.
No, no Mac. I know. It feels wrong!
