Last week our computer died, I think it was the motherboard. I had to remove the hard drive, put it in our old system as a slave drive and transfer the data to an external HD. We then decided that we should try a Mac for our new computer, we've both heard nothing but good things about them. We hit up the Mac store and ended up spending a little over a grand, thankfully I had a student discount that saved us a couple hundred. We walked out of there with a Mini Mac, a keyboard, a four port USB hub, a mighty mouse, 3 year applecare, and MS office. Easiest set up ever. Seriously, I was blown away at how everything was recognized as soon as it was plugged in.

I decided to pick up World of Warcraft since I finally have a machine that can run it. The installation and set up took about 40 minutes, and actually getting logged on so I could play took about the same length of time. The three servers I tried first had a queue of over 400 people, and that was only after I found a server that allowed me to create a character. I couldn't figure out why it was telling me that creation of that class/race has been disabled until I visited the official forums. Apparently they've been testing new servers, and they didn't want new people joining in while testing...so why was that server recommended to me?

I ended up joining a Role Playing server since the queue on it was only about 80, with a 5-10 minute wait. I don't care if you have to stay in character on those servers since I'll most likely be solo questing. I'm not all about the grind or getting uber-stuff, I like seeing the lands, creatures, and other characters. I'd be happy to just travel around looking at stuff, seeing where I can go. Anyway, I made an Undead Priest since I like zombies. I only played for about 45 minutes since I wanted to spend some time with the wife. If I like the game I'll install it on my Macbook once it gets here so I can play it while she uses the desktop.
