Not-so-old faithful
Jul. 20th, 2005 11:51 amI'm grateful that my laptop survived long enough to allow me to complete THE FIRST BETRAYAL, but I think it's time to face reality and look at getting a new computer.
The current laptop is only three years and eight months old, but it's already had two hard drive replacements, the current hard drive is acting wonky, and the CDROM burner will no longer format new CDs so I'm reduced to reusing old CDs.
Now is a good time to get the new computer and make the switch from Windows 98SE to a new platform before I get deeply involved in the new book.
I may also upgrade my printer. My current printer is an HP inkjet that I purchased back in 1997 to celebrate the release of my first book. By today's standards it's a tad slow, with a paper tray that holds just under 100 sheets, and it takes around two and a half hours to print a manuscript.
