My new computer, pop-ups and .mu.nu

They don't like each other! That is, my new computer, on which I have installed the freebie Popup Blocker that I like, does not like the comment boxes on any of the Munavian blogs. Its got no problem with Haloscan comments boxes but it shuts down those Munavian ones. Which I don't understand because I'm using the same popup blocker just fine on my work computer.

Not that I ever visit Munavian blog comments from work of course...

Otherwise, the new 'puter's great. I still don't have all the old data moved over but because of settings difficulties I'm waiting on a new cable from the software company. Once all that's done, everything should be great. Its really nice to be able to plug in my memory stick without having to reboot. I've also switched my cable modem connection over to a LAN cable instead of the USB and it seems to be loading web pages much faster than before.

And its quieter. Much quieter. The old machine had a pwer supply fan that almost always ran unbalanced and made noises like it was coming out through the box. The new computer makes a few seconds of noise upon starting up, then just shuts up and is silent. The difference is obvious when they are both powered up at the same time. So that's a good thing.
