Well I finally took the big leap and decided to create a blog. I hope I can be at least a tenth as impressive as other blogs I admire! I guess I will have to spend even more time online checking out other peoples blogs for ideas on what to do with this :-) Thank goodness I just got a new to me (refurbished) laptop from www.compusa.com with Windows XP as I have held off getting a new one due to all the negative feedback about Vista. I also got a thing that plugs into the usb port that will allow me to watch analog and HD tv on my laptop and record shows and it's pretty cool.
