New Computer!

[Photo-John]

I finally got a new computer! I didn't want to do it. But my dedicated imaging desktop (only runs Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere, etc.) was getting pretty slow with the current huge RAW files. The worst thing was video processing. When I built my current machine I had no intention of ever doing any video. That sure has changed. Video is very, very important for site content now and I've actually started to get interested and excited about becoming better at it. So I needed a machine that didn't get in the way.

I bought the new computer from a local builder. It's an Intel i5 machine running Windows 7. It's got two 500 GB drives NVidea GeForce GTS250 512MB video card, 4GB of RAM, a 450 watt power supply, and a built-in card reader.

So far, all I've had a chance to do is take this picture. Setting up a new machine is a pain in the ass and I'm going to have to schedule a day of downtime with my current machine to get the new one up and running. I'm really looking forward to being up-to-date, though. It's been a long time coming.
