This is the beginning of a new era: I finally have a new computer at work! It's a nice zippy 3.0 GHz Dell Optiplex with dual hard drives, a fine spunky little machine that doesn't appear to crash every hour. Vive la difference!

However, part of me will miss the cobbled-together Old French Whore Dell I've used worked on for the past two-and-a-half years - but lest I feel too sentimental, its heart (the old hard drive) was transplanted into the new machine as a secondary HD. I should call the new machine Prometheus. Or, better yet, Frankenstein.
