My 4-YO Sony desktop gave up the ghost (and took my freaking SATA 1 TB disk with it). So, we decided to get the best we could find while eliminating as many damn cables as possible.
That is the ecstasy. The agony? I AM 3,000 MILES AWAY FROM IT!! My wife is installing it and is having a ball.
We have an 801.11N (330MP) wireless network and already have our printer and laptops working wirelessly. I also encased the old drive from the old computer so a lot of our old stuff is available.
My wife says the display is large enough to where she doesn't need her glasses (don't tell her that part if she asks
)
Can't wait to get home next Friday! My job is running the SATA disk recovery (OK, it could wait).
But I feel pretty confident that for the next 20 minutes or so I will be leading edge.
Woot!
