new computer!
My new work computer, a ThinkPad T410, finally arrived at LSU! I went to pick it up this morning with the complete entourage of parents and the little dog.
It's running Windows 7. I plan to blow this away in favor of Ubuntu, but for now I'm giving Windows a little test-drive. It seems not too bad, in the sense that it generally stays out of the way.
I installed Google Chrome and Mozilla Thunderbird immediately. Unfortunately I can't do any actual work on it until I get Matlab installed--tomorrow night hopefully. Looking forward to getting down to business!
It doesn't have nearly the battery life of the tiny X-series, but I'm happy to have a powerful machine, as I've been doing some very CPU-intensive simulations lately.
