New computer

So I got a new laptop today, an Acer Aspire 6920G, billed as that oxymoron, the gaming laptop. I like laptops, I like gaming, so it should all work out just peachy. It has some good specs (excellent for a laptop) and a lot of cool extras like a built-in webcam and even a subwoofer. It's awesome and bizarre and brilliant.

In other news, blimey, we're doing well in the Olympics, aren't we? I mean, I knew our cyclists were good, but as it stands they're taking everyone else apart...

Hiya! Saw some of your new stuff, by the way. Pretty good, but I couldn't think of anything to say. Good to see you back, though

Good morning Paul,

I wanted to stop by and give my thanks for recently adding the Super Mario 2 File Cabinets to your favorites. I am definitely thinking about making some Sonic versions specifically with you in mind. So if I get around to them soon, I'll send you a link if you would like.

Hope you're weekend has treated you well and I thank you again for the support. Take care of yourself and have a nice week.
