New gadget

Thanks to Dave Walker at We Blog Cartoons for this image.

I initiated a relationship with a new computer today. The video card in the old one has finally succumbed to a bad experience with a glass of water in 2004 and too frequently renders the screen as vertical green and pink lines. I once had wallpaper that looked like that -- it was a little hallucinatory.

The new computer is up, mostly running, and really the transition wasn't tough at all. But I suspect I will be a little confused for a day or so.
