elyseFinally.. my computer is almost as good as new *beams*
Although I spent quite a lot of money for the new 1gb memory, fan, power supply, and casing, but hey.. at least the motherboard isn't broken. Thankfully.
But imagine 1.5 weeks without my lovely desktop... O_O
Oh, I finally subscribed to the only cable modem provider in my area (yeees, my area is not in the heart of Jakarta. It's actually way down there in the southern suburb, where the threat of flood is the lowest in Jakarta). I couldn't take it anymore... for the past 2 months, the dial-up @ telkomnet was insanely slow. So... after 4 years of amazingly shocking patience (since I've been known to be an impatient lady), here's a toast to the once again unlimited browsing and leeching! YAY! :D
Don't ask me about the speed, though. It's waaaaayy below what I had experienced in State College, PA, 6-7 years ago. Actually the advertised speed is "up to 256 kbps". Now you go figure... With the unstable network and all that, how much do I get in the far end?
No no, I'm not complaining. It's good enough that now I have unlimited internet after waiting for oh so many years. So for those of you lucky souls who can experience 10+ mbps cable internet, be thankful for what you have. For here lies the truth.. the internet in Indonesia sucks so baaadd. Actually, *whispers* it's being monopolized big time, so no wonder, right?
I am sincerely awaiting for the time... when I can move closer to the heart of Jakarta, where access to everything is so much easier.
