New Computer!
Jan 02Well, the main computer finally kicked the bucket. It had a good run (about five years!) but unfortunately, all good things in this world eventually come to an end and I was forced to replace it. I have been planning to buy a Mac Pro but since the new models still are not out yet (Thanks, Intel, for the E5 chip delays), decided to try and wait.
