Computer surgery
Jan. 22nd, 2008 11:42 amWe went out this morning and bought a new power supply.
fordprfct is now beginning surgery to attempt to reanimate Agatha, my computer.
Quote from him so far: "You know, I believe Agatha had been infested by a small colony of dust-jackalopes"
Oh please let this work.
Also bought a corded wallphone with speaker phone, for by my desk, since cordless phones on the same wall as the computers and microwave get terrible interference, and I don't want to go super expensive to try to beat that. And some desk organization stuff for me. Yes, we're pimping my workspace.
I want to get a new keyboard. I'd borrowed Karl's when mine died, and then when using his computer realized the temporary cheapie we'd given him was AWFUL. So he has his back. I want a nice ergonomic keyboard. There was 1 singleton wired ergonomic keyboard, but it was the totally split kind - I've used that before but then I get unaccustomed to regular keyboards. There was a nice curved one - but it was wireless and came as a "desktop" with a mouse. I'm unsure about wireless keyboards - mostly due to using up batteries - but I don't want a wireless mouse, with these kids it'd vanish, and I *like* my current mouse. Grrr.
