I stopped at Radio Shack on the way home, and they had just what I needed, and for only $8.99. Yay, Radio Shack! So the new baby is charging up. I think I may take her out for a spin tomorrow, if it's not too hot. I can treat myself to an iced (decaf) mocha at Starbucks for my birthday, right?




Isn't she lovely? For a Windows machine, that is. ;)

Yes, I am a die-hard Mac person, but for $8.99? I'll be a part-time PC person.

I have to get some stickers to spruce her up. And she needs a name. Any suggestions? Maybe that will be my first poll. *g*

She's quite pretty! Congrats on the power cord find.

And early birthday wishes, too! I hope it's a happy birthday filled with warmth and cheer!

Thank you! :)

Cool! Have fun picking a name... I always find that one of the forgotten perks of a new computer.

I've never named any of my computers, but it seems to me that a laptop should have one. It is a kind of companion, after all, meant to be traveled with. :)

That looks remarkably like the second hand Thinkpad I bought recently to replace the old Thinkpad that had died after about 10 years of use. :)

Well, that's encouraging! I hope I get many years of use out of her. :)

My computers always have names of Goddesses. It just seems to work well. Currently my computer's name is Minerva.

Ooh, that's a good idea! I'll have to look at some good Goddess names. Thanks! :)

It actually started out as a fluke. When I worked at ComputerVision, I inherited a computer named Pegasus. The next one I got was a brand new, unnamed one. I decided to continue the "mythology" tradition and named it Astarte. Since then between work and home, I've had a Diana, Athena, a second Astarte, and a Cerridwin.
