New Laptop

Yay!

My T400s is in Austin, but I have to wait until Monday for it to be delivered. Ooh, currently I’m running on a P4 with less than a gig of ram. My super light browser, even on Linux (which everybody can agree, is about as efficient as it gets), takes 18 seconds to startup (and it does that for every link from an external program), so I’m pretty excited for modern hardware.

Woo!
