Hello to all! I would like you to know that I am back, and it's about time. In the last few months, I have gotten a new computer.

Well, when I got back from basic training, one of the first things I noticed was that my beloved computer, Braxiatel, was totally non-functional. I believe that there was a crack in the motherboard, which meant that if you wiggled the keyboard connector and the processor (a Slot 1 card) a little bit, it would work for a while. After getting it to work, sort of, it finally failed completely. I went online and bought a new motherboard and some associated hardware. I ended up getting a Biostar M7NCG motherboard with an AthlonXP 2600+ processor, as well as 512MB of DDR memory and a new 450W power supply. The new computer is, for the time being, known as Golubo (the Russian word for "blue"), due to its blue lighting effects.
