My Nervous Breakdown
This is the first sign.
My New PC Spec
Jodie asked me to post up the spec of my new PC (which hasn’t arrived yet).
It’s basically a Lenovo A55 with the Core 2 Duo E6300 1.8 GHz processor, 1 GB DDR2 RAM (not sure this is going to be enough but I’ll buy another stick later if it needs it). Comes with a 250GB drive and I’ve got another TB of external drives that I’ll slam into it from the old machine. Here’s a link to the machine on Lenovo’s site.
It comes pre-loaded with Vista which I’m nervous about for a variety of reasons:
My key hope for the machine is that it will be QUIET. For the last few years I’ve had to turn my desktop off when I record and work on the laptop because the desktop sounded like a Boeing. The idea is that this one will be quieter because of the dual core processor and it’s got multiple smaller fans in it rather than a couple of the huge ones. Fingers crossed this does the trick.
I was originally going to get the smaller Lenovo desktop unit but it doesn’t have many expansion slots and when you’re doing a lot of audio and video editing, you never know what cards you might need. The integrated audio and video on the mobo usually aren’t enough for high-end processing.
By the way, my ‘dealer’ is my next-door neighbour David Jackson who has a company called Bespoke Solutions (soon to be re-branded Hexworks). If anyone in Melbourne is looking for a boutique IT solutions company, I can highly recommend David’s services. He’s a Christian but I can overlook that.

Go Tony Harris!
Tony Harris has donated $350 to my head shaving fund! Man, you must really want to see me balder than Britney’s hoo-hoo. Good onya mate. Makes Molly’s $10 look puny. 🙂
As for the rest of you… shame on you. Shame. Shame. Shame.
