I Got a New Computer!

Yes!!! At last I got a new computer. It’s an HP6130 with Intel C2D and loads of other features including Microsoft Vista Home Premium (Aero interface, YAY!). I wanted an assembled model but no one over here seems to have the time to go shopping for all the different parts.

After days of pleading for a new computer I have finally got one. Whew! The one I had previously was a P4 (more than 3 years old and not much use). Its motherboard was giving me a lot of problems and it had a lot of overheating trouble too.

The new one was delivered today and needless to say I just had to load the OS and use it.

I had ordered it about a week back and I really don’t know why it took so much time. But these people really have terrible timing. I have got my tests starting the day after tomorrow, and my mom says that if I spend one single minute more on the computer today, she’s gonna hide the CPU. Really…

    I remember how elated I was when dad finally chucked my 6 year old totally ruined PC and got a new one. Windows xp looked soooooo good. :P
