Technology Triumphs!
Monday, October 22, 2007
Those of you who know how backwards I am when it comes to my old, comfortable ways of keeping around software that is old, but you know, works, will be happy to hear that after I installed the Hellgate London demo I couldn't play because it requires Service Pack 2.
I suppose I might finally have to upgrade. I have been resisting, but listening to Matt play for the past three days knowing I could be too has been painful. Of course my video card may also be too old, but I bought a new power supply this weekend so that I could re-replace it again with one I bought several months ago, but never bothered to check the power requirements on until I started having sporadic problems with my components not operating. And, I upgraded to the latest video drivers then, so I might be OK without having to do another upgrade.
In other news, I recently updated iTunes because my free Herbie Hancock download required 7.4. I had a change of heart before the installation, but for some reason my installation of iTunes disappeared after I downloaded the patch (although it wasn't yet installed). I guess an updated version is better than no version, the bastards!
Bonus points if you can name that case. I'm salivating over it, but there's no way I could afford it.

Wow, I have no idea what that picture is of, nor did I know what you were talking about in most of the post. i am so technologically retarded!
But, I hope your upgrades and stuff make you happy :)

It would be much harder to figure-out what that case is called if the photo were not "hp-blackbird.jpg". You don't have and extra $6000 for one of those? C'mon, I'll bet it comes with SP2 pre-installed! And with a 1.1 Kilowatt power supply, it probably gets hot enough to bake muffins with the waste heat too! Sweet! ;)

It's only $3400 for the LC version. But mostly I just want that case. I don't really know if I would be comfortable with liquid cooling.

LoL. You never installed Service Pack 2?
Well... I suppose when it's working. .. ain't broke, don't fix it eh?
