Slow Slide into Obsoletion

Well, my over-powered never-able-to-use-it-to-its-full-potential computer has already begun the long slide into obsoletion.
I bought Rob the new(ish) Overlord game. It's been out about a year. It let Rob install it, but he couldn't play it. So I tried to install it on my system, and I got a message saying that my computer does not have the necessary requirements - I can install it, but I won't enjoy it. Rob probably got the same message, too, but probably didn't read it & clicked right past it. Had to get a DVD-Rom for Rob's pc, too - the disc was a DVD. Geez.
Today I got my account at the new job to begin testing the system we're in the process of implementing. Within 5 minutes of attempting to log on for the first time, my account was revoked. The sys admin had to re-instate my account & told me I'd make a lousy hacker - my default new user password was my name - I'd gotten my original account revoked due to numerous tries of 'newuser' as the password. :P Another d'oh! Testing is going to be incredibly tedious and our justice system is going to be full of cartoon characters doing heinous acts because we have to test on the live site. However, it will be a change from Word processing.
Well, I'm tired, and going to bed now.
Peace.
