ok, so the new 'puter is jolly lovely, runs nice and fast, and now has over a terabyte of storage.

holy...

a terabyte of storage.

That's a thousand gigabytes. 1,000,000,000,000 bytes

(yes, I know about SI vs binary values. stick with me here)

My first PC had 4MB of RAM, and a whopping 100MB of hard disk space.

how long before we look back and laugh. "Oh, remember the days? I had a *whole* terabyte of storage! how quaint! my phone has more than that!"

actually, my phone has a 4GB memory card in. A thousand times more than my old PC's RAM.

in other news, I hate this keyboard. It's really clacky and noisy, and my mouse is a cheap piece of crap.

in other other news: yes, I am procrastinating about writing any more of my NaNo.

I'm writing! (ok, I'm checking emails, but I've got NaNo open in the background)

Cassie and Sam are just about to go into the library on their first day, and Tom is posing on the manicured lawn outside, reading battered old books and looking pretty.

ok, plot ninja! Quick, what should happen next? Something fun and interesting which will keep me going for a few minutes?

Keep going! You have to fill a terabyte with a novel by the end of the month!!

Something should catch on fire or explode! Depending on what you want. A fire hydrant could burst. Maybe there are some kids trying to conduct a chemistry experiment outside the library.
