Computer Upgrades

Just before blowing $150 on illegal car-parking, I blew a similar amount on new RAM for my desktop. A couple of half-gig, DR400, 2CL sticks ran me $140 at the local hardware store. Upgrading from 256MB of ram to a gigabyte makes an amazing difference.


I also decided to follow the advice of practically everyone and install Mozilla's Firefox. I'm going to testdrive it by surfing for as much porn as possible over the next two weeks to see if I can infect it with something wicked. There can be no greater challenge for a browser than to sully itself in the dark waters of online porn and emerge VD free. If it passes that test, I'll consider switching for all my important browsing as well.
