Just so you know, I will be having some upgrades done to this comp next week. HOWEVER, I will NOT be offline as was previously anticipated. This is because I have another tower that I am borrowing and fixing up from/for my friend which I am going to use for Internet access until I get my tower back. So with that said, here is the nitty gritty:
I will be having a new motherboard put in with an Intel Pentium 4 processor, minimum of 2.4 GHZ speed put in. This is in order to replace my current one, which can only support up to 1.6 GHZ.
In addition, I am also going to be adding a nrew hard drive. The one I have now is 18.6 GB. I will be purchasing one that is between 80-120 GB. This is in order to supplement the anticipated increase in downloads of programs and such that I will be doing in the near future.
As well, I will be purchasing a new version of Microsoft Office, the 2002 (XP) version. This is in order to replace my current 2000 Service Pack 1 version, and it is also in order to help me practice what I learned in my Word 2002 class.
Finally, I will be buying toner for my laser printer. This is in order to help out with my worries about running out of ink on my InkJet printer, of which I am still on my 2nd or 3rd cartridge ever.
Just a heads-up to let you all know that there will be some activity in my life next week.
