My New Baby

I called my old desktop computer purchased about 8 years ago, Mathilda. She was a workhorse and still hangs in there for the most part, but it was time for a new one.

This one could be called Greased Lightning! 8 Gigs of Ram!

HP Pavilion Magnesium Gray Edition p6404y

This desktop features a double-layer DVD±R/CD-RW drive with LightScribe technology for creating customized DVDs and CDs with a quality on-disc label. The built-in wireless LAN allows you to connect to the Internet without wires.
