*bounce bounce bounce*

Computer parts are in Renton! I'm always surprised at how it takes 2 days for UPS to deliver a box that's 40 minutes away (with traffic).

I'm getting an intel core duo 2 2.4 ghz processor, 1GB DDR2 800mhz RAM (motherboard will take up to 8), a 160GB SATA 7200 rpm hard drive, and a nvidia 8500GS video card with 512MB DDR RAM. I wasn't able to recycle my current video card because the new motherboard won't support AGP. (Which is just as well, since my current video card is an nvdia 5600FX and is crap.)

I have no compunction about wiping and reinstalling *other* people's computers. My own? I hate doing it. But I think my current excitement is overshadowing the loathing of recompiling csound.
