Beaufort, SC

I found my dad a new computer courtesy of Dell.com. He promptly ordered it the other day and now I have scheduled a trip down to Beaufort, SC with my girlfriend, Diana, to see him and to set up his new Dell. We are leaving Wed. afternoon March 8, 2006 and returning Saturday March 11, 2006. The weird thing is that he's run out of hard drive space on his old machine.. not to mention it's so very slow. He will be blown away by this new one.

One must always remember that the FIRST thing you need to do if you buy a pre built computer is to format the hard drive. Yes that's right... erase the whole thing because there is no telling how much CRAP is on there. That way you can control exactly what goes on your computer. That is the first thing I plan on doing, getting rid of all the bloated software.

The trip itself should be fun with boat riding, fishing, and eating good seafood which Diana hates. This should be fun. He has a guest house that is currently being completed so I think we will be the first to actually stay in it which is exciting. I wonder if he thought to run ethernet out there... somehow I doubt it, though he does have wireless. I'm excited about it and hope the flights are better than my recent trip to Philadelphia, PA.
