New pc's rock.
Hopefully, our computer guy will come hook my new machine up today or tomorrow. The only real upgrade I'm getting is going from Win 2k to XP, P4 1GHz to 2.something Ghz and a 19-inch flat panel.

Nice! 
It wasn't that long ago that I got a new boss, and one of his first acts was to get me a shiny new 2.0 Ghz P4 - to replace my MS-DOS machine.
BTW, Boss #1 insisted I was going to miss the convenience of doing everything via keystrokes.

Are you going to take the old one to an abandoned field and go all "Office Space" on it?

Very cool. I have one question for you...you're in drafting, correct? How the heck do you run Autocad on 233 MH?

This reminded me that the other day I heard that Bill Gates was reported to have once said in the 80s that no one needed anything more than 640K. Boy was he wrong.

We still run R14. Speed is only a problem when I load really large Illustrator files. I really wanted to get it so I could play more games.
