The New Computer

There is now a new computer for the children's game room* and the screen is 1440 x 900 resolution. This is nothing new for some people, but it is for me. I have to decorate it now.

* Jump Start on 2nd Grade wouldn't work on the old computer. It was time to get a new computer as the old one was so old it had Windows ME originally (though it had been upgraded at least once). It just didn't have enough front end to run that program.

Speaking of the new format, let me just say that my website and blog look mighty bare! They are centered with about a quarter of the screen on either side empty. Suppose this is the first computer I've used that is truly designed for multitasking.
