Anybody Have A Stain Remover Handy?

My new computer is here.

I’m so excited that I think I may need some Oxy-Clean to remove a new stain from the front of my pants. This computer looks so cool it’s like an ice sculpture. In fact, it almost looks too cool for me. But of course, we all know that’s impossible, since I’m the coolest thing since beef jerky.

Yeah, I’m all that and a side of sweet plantains.

The best part so far is that even though I didn’t order the cut-out window, firewire sockets or matching silver faceplates for the CD and DVD drives, they gave it to me. For free. The only thing is, now that it looks so good, I might need to go out and actually pay for an internal, sound activated neon light.

You know, because I’ve got the cool, cut-out window and all…

But there may be a problem with the computer. The packing slip says that there’s only 256 MBs of PC3200 RAM, but I ordered 512. Once I get this baby hooked up and everything I’ll check and make sure, but if it’s only got 256 I’ll need to call them and get them to send me the other 256. But I’m afraid that if I do call them, they’ll realize that they sent me a computer with a whole bunch of extra stuff I was supposed to pay for, and didn’t. Then they’ll send the Computer Geek Police to my house to take away my beautiful new toy.

And then I’d go to jail for murder.

HoBiscuit is resigned to the fact that she has lost me for the next few days as I play with my new toy. Setting it up and installing software won’t take so long, but I might need to spend a while just regaling in the fact that I don’t need to make myself a cup of hot chocolate between starting PhotoShop and being able to actually use it. Oh yeah, and the cable modem should be arriving on Thursday.

Oh god. I think I just stained my pants again…
