Only a test. Nothing digital was harmed… At least not this time. ((insert evil laugh here))

well somewhere along the line Socialite, the program that had been posting from here to Twitter and Facebook, stopped working. Tried a couple things, nothing.

Twitter Tools to the rescue – seems to work. My goal of course is to post here and let it populate over the other places people prefer to read.

For grins I spec’d out an alienware laptop. Had 160G HD. Had to really hunt to see how much RAM it came with, couldn’t really see if it came with WiFi or what size screen it had… I added a package for Photoshop Elements and whatever the equivalent premier is figuring you need something for photos… Had no internal optical drive so I added an external one. They did let me choose the color of my trim and keyboard illumination – ooo ooo ooo purple!!!!! Gave me some options for ?launch screen/desktop images? They were willing to install steam and warcraft for me although it wasn’t clear if they would do all the updates…. a cool $1200 without doing anything more to it (and no antivirus etc). But oooooo purple! Then I realized it was an 11″ back to school model… (oh and they gave me the option of turning on/off automatic updates LOL) Aliens, shiny black and purple!
