Back From Hiatus

Here I am, back from my not-quite-voluntary hiatus from the blog. Funny thing, having a working computer makes it easier to blog! Since my Compaq died a painful death (bad power connection to the motherboard), I am now using a Gateway packing 1 GB RAM (going to 2 GB as soon as the RAM comes in) and a 160 GB hard drive. This machine makes the other one look like it's standing still...which, I suppose, it is, but that's beside the point!
