Aug. 13th, 2009 13:16Monday August 3, 2009 I went to St. Vincent de Paul, and I brought back a computer. Saint Vinnie's seems to be the last Minneapolis thrift store which sells computers.
It's a Windows XP desktop, competently refurbished.
Thanks to L_, who gave me and the computer a ride. And jamestrainor (LiveJournal), who helped me carry it in and get it set up.
I made some changes in the way it operates, moved freeware, text files, etc. over from the older computer, and deleted things I was unlikely to use.
Connecting it to the Internet will have to wait for a bit; probably till the beginning of September.
With any luck, my next computer will be something lighter and less bulky. Maybe a netbook, maybe whatever replaces netbooks.
