Corey and I have been discussing computers again. $589 with an Intel q6600 quad core.. which will take as many tabs as you can throw at it. :P You'd use up the RAM before that slowed anything down. And it has 3GB of that, which is pretty decent. Quad core means you can have roughly 8 billion things running at the same time before it slows down. :P That'd be a good one if you can spend that much. doesn't look like you get a monitor for that, but you have one of those.

[01:54:41] Corey: A quad core and 3GB of RAM should do you pretty well for quite a while. :P Right now, you have a Celeron, which isn't so great. A quad core is overkill for you, if anything. A dual core system would be just fine, if not overkill. But that's actually one of the less expensive systems, so I'd go for the awesome processor.
[01:55:10] Corey: They may even get cheaper. AMD just released their Phenom II line, so Intel is lowering prices to keep people from deciding to give those a try.
[01:57:22] Corey: Basically, that quad core is about the best thing you can possibly get, or at least it was until very recently when Intel brought out the new I-7s that are even better. So that's pretty close to top of the line. All it really lacks is RAM (it has plenty though, but top of the line would mean loading it up with even more), and a good video card.. but what it has would be just fine for you.

Poo nugget for Wednesday, January 21: Ouch! The Chinese Star Poo is characterized by the excruciatingly painful sensation that your rectum is being torn apart from the inside as this poo exits your body. This searing agony is commonly the result of passing a particularly hard, angular-shaped bowel movement. Synonyms: Dorito, Iceberg, Glass Shard. (you should see the picture for this one!)
