Dreamin to Beat the Band

It’s been a gentle easy day today ... well, after we got started anyway. Had a little problem missing the boys. So, we did something that was fun for us. We put together a dream computer. Hehe - just in case Tanner wants to be ultra-generous!

We basically worked through the Gateway site. Sister Tess had talked us into getting a Gateway for work. And, now we’re pretty used to them. I sure do like how she runs! We’re pretty much figurin we’re way over budget, but had fun dreaming nonetheless.

Man-o-man though, you should see how this baby would run! My dream computer would be an XP with the Microsoft Professional Operating System and software. It would have anti virus software, plus extended service plan with priority access and accidental damage protection.

It would be DVD/CD RW, and I would check out a 1G USB flash drive. It would have minimum, an 18" LCD Flat screen, and for fun a TV Tuner w/video capture.

I would get software like, "Art Explosion Scrapbook, Easy CD Creator, WinDVD, and Microsoft Project and One Note, plus the basics of Lotus Organizer, PhotoShop, and PrintShop 20. It would have a Logitech Cam, MP3 Player, and a scanner. We need to keep our printing needs at work, because she’d be to expensive to maintain!

It would have a Pentium 4 Processor, 3.2GHz, 1024 MB Memory, 500GB hard drive and a whole bunch of extra drives, expansion slots, and external ports. It would have really nice keyboard, mouse, and speakers, preferably in black and it would cost less than $6,000.

And, my fairy God mother would leave all that money tucked under my pillow for Christmas morning!

Hmm, maybe we’ll go back to just playin with the One Note demo software. At least that is free for the next 60 days!
