My brother’s sexy new PC came today. About time too.. I really felt bad for him yesterday. First it didn’t come, then the Raptors lost their game.. Hahaha.
But anyway, here it is. It’s not set up obviously cause he’s not home yet…
Of course I’m a little jealous. Who wouldn’t be of… 24-inch flat screen monitor. Quad Core Pentium Processor. 3 Gb RAM. 500gb (or maybe 1Tb, I forget) hard drive. TV tuner… etc etc. But eh.. That’s how it is at my house…
Computers here generally have 3-year lifespans. Which sometimes means theres 2-years waiting in between new ones being bought… We started in 2003 with my laptop (I don’t count the ones we bought before, cause they weren’t specifically just mine or just James’s). It was my “Grad Present”. James’ came in 2005 when he graduated (obviously… he’s 2 years younger than me). Next this current one I have I bought in 2006 (it’ll be 2-years old in August). So it just makes sense that James buys his next one now in 2008… Thing is, he did buy it a few months in advanced (usually we buy before the school year). But I think his laptop was starting to screw around on him… He got “blue screened” a few times I think.
Anyway. I just have to wait my turn. 2009 is when it’s gonna happen. Though following his example I think I’m gonna buy mine a little early too (I’m supposed to wait for my first “real” job).. But whatever. Maybe around this time next year I’ll have my own new PC (no more laptops for me once I finish with school).
