Changing Hardware

After many months of uncertainty and indecision, today was the day to purchase a new notebook computer. Eagle 5 had been encouraging me to do it before our summer trip to Michigan. That trip is 12 days away so I am cutting it close to learn the new machine and transfer the necessary files from the old to new.

The new toy is a Toshiba Satellite model with a 17-inch screen, a 200GB HHD, 2GB RAM, and an Intel Core2 Duo processor. It will play and record HD DVDs and should be more than we will ever need to tour the country and keep track of everything else. Tonight is get acquainted time; we seem to be off to a good start.

Plans for the Michigan trip are moving along well. We have changed the return trip several times and may do it yet again. We need to be in Strasburg, PA September 7 for a performance at the Sight & Sound Theater. That will determine our timing and stops after Niagara Falls. We haven't yet decided to attend the ODC camp out September 14-16, but we probably will.

I spent some time tonight reading the Geeks on Tour blog and hope that one day I'll be able to improve this blog to look something like that one. That is a class act!
