My New Work Computer


That's right...we just got a brand new Dell XPS M1730 gaming laptop at work. It's "technically" not mine as I'll have to share it, but we got it in order to test, evaluate, and demo the latest simulation and gaming projects we are working on. Plus you never know when the occasional Rainbow 6, Splinter Cell, etc. game may make it on there for "testing" purposes.
I still haven't had a chance to use Vista that much (other than playing with demo models in electronic stores). Once our IT guys received the laptop, they came to me and said it had Vista on. We both sort of looked at each other and said, "better go with XP." Now that IT is done with it, it is ours for the test drive.

Congrats on the new laptop. It’s good to know your IT staff was considerate enough to put XP on your laptop.

I have to deal with several learning and e-learning situations where we have inferior Gateway (MPC) laptops and desktops, and while it’s challenging to develop in these situations, it’s nice to get used to it. I was IT previously, so it was harder for me to adapt.

I would recommend trying out Crysis and Crysis Warhead if you have not yet.
