New laptop in the house!

Uh-huh. Uh-huh!

Now I just have to turn it on and run through the set-up, then figure out if I need an admin profile in addition to my profile and my wife's profile and then I have to learn windows 8 and then teach her how to navigate through windows 8.

I'm putting it off. Can you tell?

Well, it is for writing. It replaces my current POS that crashes if it overheats. That randomly loses the Internet forcing a reboot. That won't reboot or shut down without taking forever and then crashing. That has a disc drive that its forgotten how to access. That won't let me use headphones because the jack is busted and the USB ports have stopped recognizing most devices. That I haven't been able to install a new program on in over a year because of the aforementioned crashing problem upon restart.

So it'll be nice to write without worrying ill lose everything.

It's an HP. 8gig of memory and a terabyte of hard disc space.

I know where my anxiety was coming from. Besides facing Windows 8, I mean. I've had my old laptop for 5 or more years. I'm experiencing moving anxiety, as if I were physically moving to a new place. All my photos and documents and bookmarks and so on are on my old one and I'm not sure how they're going to make the move over. I don't want to lose anything or have to start from scratch, but in some cases I probably will have to (browser settings).

Last night it took me all evening just to run through the start-up/set-up. But I was able to make one Facebook post (except I had to download the FB app. I never could figure out how to get the "Social" tile to work). And then I watched Netflix before passing out.
