Windows Give Light

My family's previous computer was a Windows 1998. Let's just call it a monster and be done with it. I'm sad to say that until Christmas of 2006 the antique was all we had. Throughout the years the contraption occupied the house, the only upgrade was the furniture it lived on.
However, while it lasted the computer was magnificent. It allowed me to play the highly entertaining and educational games such as Reader Rabbit and Oregon Trail. As I grew older the new fad was Roller Coaster Tycoon. My brother was my inspiration for that game. He won every award a park could win and he taught me all he knew. The Sims was also an influential game but unfortunately we didn't own it so I had to wander on over to my friend's Mac to be able to enjoy it.
After this stage of my computer years the games turned into instant messaging. This phase lasted a very long time. I created five user names I could list right now, but I won't because they're thoroughly embarrassing. Instant messaging turned into a thing called Myspace. I am proud to say that after having my Myspace for only a little over a year I completed the difficult task of deleting my existence off the site.
This is around the time our new computer came to us. On Christmas my twenty year old brother, seventeen year old sister and I came down to open our presents. Only when I asked my mom with a sarcastic tone, "Mom you got us a new mouse for Christmas?" and she replied, "Well it's for our new computer!" did I realize the gigantic pile of boxes the computer mouse sat atop was our brand new computer. It was a brand new Windows Dell (is that the correct name?) with a beautiful sleek black look to it.
Now Facebook has evovled and I must say I can't see myself getting rid of mine anytime soon. It is positively amazing to log right on to Facebook and be able to see all my friends know what they're up to. My favorite part of the whole thing is searching through ancient photos of everyone recalling all the memories from them.
Along with Facebooking, Minesweeper is my choice of game this days. My record for beginner is 4 seconds and my record for intermediate is 36 seconds which I think is fairly good. Unfortunately I still have to tackle the expert grid. Sadly I have only completed one so far.
The best news of all happened just recently. We upgraded to high speed Internet finally. Not that our Internet before was slow but this way I have the unbelievably fabulous ability to catch-up on every single Lost episode made so I will be ready when the new season starts in January.
Now about this blogging. It's spectacular. I prefer reading other blogs rather than writing my own (which you may not understand due to the length of this post). But so far this blogging has been really fun and has already made a difference in the community of our classroom.
