Yes, so it’s a bit late!
Merry Christmas everybody, I hope you all had a good time.
I’m thoroughly pleased with my shiny new iPod nano blue – but I’d better buy a case or something before it wears out through overuse! As I write this I’m transcoding the Transformers DVD I was given so I can watch it on t’Pod; not sure if it’ll be easy to watch in bed or whatever, but it’s worth a go.
We’ve had both grandmas over for the last three days or so, and I think they’ve had a good time too.
I get another glorious day off school too!
My new 500GB SATA hard drive (a present from me to me; if I told my relatives that I wanted a SATA-II 500GB WD HD with 16MB cache they wouldn’t have a clue what to buy) is also working wonderfully, despite some initial teething issues with Windows XP – I only had a servicepack1 install CD, so it only recognised 136GB or something.
I spent an hour or so making it look all nice and colour-themed, you can see it as soon as I’ve installed an FTP client!
I myself have little HDD space remaining and will soon need more. The only problem is that the 8800GTS is so large it prevents any more internal ones, so I may be needing a larger (and cooler, judging by my temperatures) case first! Oh the expenditure!
I too am looking for a new case, coincidentally – this one that came free with the computer is starting to show how cheap and tacky it is. I leant on the front the other day and it made a horrible CRACK and now it’s wonky.
Fortunately my 7600GT isn’t quite as big as an 8800GTS, so I have plenty of space for more hard drives.
