It's funny to me that I can not seem to get time or funds to upgrade my computer. I am able to work on several other people's computers for them and help them upgrade but I can not do my own. My father ends up sending me parts in the mail so I can upgrade my computer. What a shame. I really need to get back on top of my financial situation so I can do things on my own. Anyhow, my father sent me a video card a while back and when looking at the specs on the thing, it should have worked. But it didn't. The card is brand new, out of the box, but did not work in my machine. Months later, yesterday, I checked my PO box and there was another vid card. My father sent me a second video card to try out. As soon as I got home, I shutdown my PC and opened the box. I was impressed at the look of this new card. It has a gold fan on it. I immediately thought to myself, "Damn, this must be a good card". So anyways, I opened up the side panel of my computer and pulled out my ancient S3 video card and replaced it with this huge long shiny thing. I quickly plugged my monitor up and started the computer. Everything worked fine! 100% flawless upgrade. I immediately went to check the quality of video by launching the Media Player and selecting one of the many downloaded movies. YES! I can now see a movie! Woo Hoo... I was only able to hear them before the upgrade.

Yep, that was the most excitement this past week. I immediately started up PhotoShop and started playing with some stuff. The resolution settings on my desktop are set to maximum and I love it. So much room and desktop area to play with. After playing with some of my art that I drew back in the day and reading a few threads on Soy Chicano, I decided to open a new store front on cafePress. Visitors to this site are invited to check it out. I will be adding to it later on. I just started it for now.
