I had to use my computer too much in the first day or so to actually pay much attention to it.  Plus, I was occasionally still having to RDP to my old slow computer, and I was still having to do a lot of waiting.  During that time, I had planned to move my old good hard drive over to my new machine, but when I opened it up, I realized that it was a different kind of hard drive interface.  At least I was able to take advantage of that time to teach Clinton a little bit about the inside of a computer.  I was very impressed with the inside of the computer.  The case is a snap to open, requiring no screwdrivers.  There is a massive, wind-tunnel sized fan that helps keep everything cool.  It looks like it is expecting more hard drives, as access to the power connectors, SATA ports, and drive bays is front-and-center.  Once I finally got my old computer turned off, I also noticed something else...nothing.  My new computer is incredibly quiet, which almost makes working seem peaceful.

Now that I've actually gotten to play around on my computer, I'm really enjoying the speed.  Visual Studio projects open up so much faster.  Also, switching back and forth between HTML and Design view is immediate now; it took way too long on my old machine.  I originally set up the computer with the supplied keyboard.  The feature of being able to open and close my cd drives from buttons on my keyboard was almost enough for me to not switch back to my wireless keyboard...almost.  I figure there's got to be some way to set that up via software.  Anybody know a keyboard shortcut for ejecting a cd?

Setting up my printer was quite simple, as this computer wants to use USB ports.  My old computer wasn't as USB friendly.  Once installed, I shared it and then went over to Jamie's computer, fully expecting to have to install it on her machine as well.  Somehow, as if by magic, when I opened up the Printers folder on her computer, before I could even do anything, the printer attached to my computer appeared before my very eyes, well, in icon-form.  No setup necessary.  Also, and this could be my fault for screwing with permissions, now Jamie can open up our Quicken data file over the network without facing a Windows logon prompt.  Which is great, because now she doesn't need me to relink stuff after her computer is rebooted.
