Computer Time with Mr. Abbie

[spatch]

Oh, our intrepid friend Abbie has found himself a computer box. "I WOnder what could be INSide," he muses. "Maybe there' streasure"	Our first foray into the box yields a plastic bag with some very strange glyphs. I believe they're warnings or rules of some sort. The one on the left is clearly "No Al Jolson Imitations" and the one on the right, I think, is "No Astronaut Babies."	And finally, inside the box, is the treasure! The prize we sought! Silica Gel, and baby, it's inedible! Yowsa yowsa yowsa!

Too bad Abbie disappeared before I could show him the silica gel. Oh well, c'est la guerre.

The "not-so-upgrade-friendly" vibe is one I've picked up from multiple sources. I'm okay with that, considering my upgrades usually only consist of extra RAM or hard drives. The computer took my second 200GB drive no problem, which made me happy. There is a PCIe slot as well so in case some day a pile of cash lands on me and I can buy a kickass Radeon, I'm all set.

The big bright blue LED on the case is something else, tho. Last night the computer decided to go into sleep mode, and the LED blinks like a hotel neon sign. When one has taken melatonin and is light-sensitive and trying to get to sleep, one takes notice.
