Just wondering... Has anyone of you added something new to your computer lately? I wouldn't have thought of this question if I hadn't had something new!
I've got ADSL, and it's really cool - it would be even cooler if I could now log in to FilePlanet to get those huge epics that are still out there and that I haven't played yet due the fact that the download would've taken half a day with a normal phoneconnection, but that will now take only a couple of minutes.

What a long sentence! Did I wrote that?

Probably due to a power peak my whole computer broke down at the end of last year (that's a while ago so not sure if it counts) and I had the whole mother board taken out and replaced with a Pentium 4, 1.7 Ghz. And I bought the Soundblaster 5.1 Live card last month to improve the Dink Experience. I'm thinking about getting ADSL by the way.

Sorry. I'm only twelve and I don't know exactly what a pentium is. I just know it was some kind of pentium. Before it was upgraded, our hard drive had a Gateway 2000 sticker on it. Any ideas? But I do know my computer was really crap before we upgraded it. The total cost was around $200 Australian dollars. The guy who fixes our computer is a good friend of ours, so we get about a 20% discount. Some things are second hand, or were given to us for free.
The optical mouse I got was perfect condition and only cost me 5 bucks!

Anyway, 7 viruses hit and did damage to our computer, so I'm gonna have to fork out the cash to repair it again.
