her electronic owl

hello from my brand new laptop !! *beams*

Well, I finally got her (him?). I brought it through my Dad who got it at a cheaper price for me. It is a Toshiba Tecra A3 (1.6AGHz), and I've named it Hedwig.

My computer description on the network is "Jade's Electronic Owl" :D I thought that was fitting, as this is my portal to communicating back home (and elsewhere) while I'm away. Just like the owl mail in Harry Potter.

No, I'm not obsessed, why do you ask? ;)

Anyway. Dad has been installing things on here for me and making sure everything is all okay with the anti-virus and microsoft updates etc, although it just occured to me that now might be the perfect time to switch back over to Firefox again. Hmm.

But I wanted to pop in and say hello first :)

Last night I dreamed I was in the packing department for the new HP books and I sneaked two copies out but most of them weren't in good condition at all. The covers were red and white; I've no idea what they look like in real life but let me know!

*giggles* that's a cute dream :)
I believe the covers are green and black, from the pictures I've seen. I'm not sure if that's the American version or the UK one though :)

You should totally switch back to Firefox. Much more secure. :)

My David has a Toshiba, and it's great... when my Dell falls apart (not too far away) I'll probably get a Tosh (if I can't afford a super-shiny Apple by then). YAYE, new computers are so refreshing... and definitely get Firefox again!!! I also run Thunderbird for email, which is grrrreat.

Hi! :)

oooh, fabulous, because that was going to be my next question - who used Thunderbird, and how was it! I use Outlook on my desktop computer, but I figured that since I've switched back to Firefox (finally!), I might as well go completely Mozilla.

<3 excitement. When my pc dies I'm planning on getting a laptop. I'd love to be able to type outside on a nice summers day or in bed on a cold winters day/night (now *haha*)

Even the not Harry Potter fan in me, likes the description of the own. How fitting!
