I got me a new computer.

I built my last computer in 2009 and had windows XP on it. I sure liked XP and didn't want to give it up, in fact I kept using it up until a couple of days ago it got slow as hell and it didn't want to do some things it used to and I had a ton of programs on it I didn't want to lose and really didn't like the idea of learning a new system. Us old folks don't like change.




I told you I had a lot of programs.



So I go on Amazon and start ordering parts. I ordered up parts for a hot rod computer a little overkill for what I do but what the hell. I get me a unlocked 8 core processor, a Gigabyte gaming mother board, 32 gig of memory, a terabyte hard drive, a 750 watt power supply and a full windows install disk for Windows 7. I've heard to many people hating on Windows 10 so I stuck with 7. They will still update it until 2020 maybe they will come out with something better by then.
 Two days later I get all my new toys.






I put that rascal together 




and head into the computer room and unhook my old computer and hook this new one up. I say a few prayers to the computer gods and hit the power button, that damn thing fired right up. I install Windows 7 and now spending my days getting files and programs onto it.


 I've been feeding the squirrels out back to keep them from biting my tomato's and a lot of them eat out my my hand now. I noticed that the birds watch them and when the squirrels are around me eating pecans the dang doves come down around me and eat with the squirrels. The other day the wife tried putting a few kernels of corn on the floor by the door and the damn doves came in the house to eat corn. I guess word is spreading around the animal kingdom that we will feed them cause we had a coon come up to the door the other night.

  1. Did not know you were a computer hardware guru. Win 7 is probably the best choice right now. What kind of money did all that put you out?
