I arrived at 8:00 to be sure I was on time, and I got to see Love at its busiest.

First off, they were having a rehearsal of all the things that they planned on presenting to their big client this month, “”. They are trying to get the store to let them do a complete makeover of the store’s image. It was really impressive, and I really liked what they had in mind.

A little later in the day, I got to go with the tech guy to the store and buy all the components I need to build my dream for . I have never been able to go to a computer store with the idea that “anything is probably alright!” So we got a computer with some pretty amazing specs, and I started building it up for the project I will be starting tomorrow…yes, tomorrow.

Just for those of you who are interested in the techie stuff, here are the specs:

  • Intel Dual Core Processor (6600, I think)
  • Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Motherboard (up to 12 USB ports, Gigabit LAN, up to 8GB ram, etc.)
  • eVGA nVidia GeForce 8800GT
  • 4GB DDR2 RAM
  • 500GB WD Caviar HDD

And a few other things like a DVD burner and some humongous CPU fan. It’s pretty amazing, and when I get WinXP installed on it (yes, XP, they don’t want me using Vista, imagine that) I will be ready to go tomorrow. Exciting!!!
