RUN - laptop HP DV2000 RUN

I batised my first laptop RUN - a beautifull HP DV2000 black laptop with a 15.4 inch glossy screen. I need to buy a small mouse since i hate is touchpad. I do not like vista when i tried it some month ago, but since a lots of drivers for this laptop are made only for vista, i keep the vista home edition installed on it.

Linksys WRT54G router Linksys WRT54G router

My new router, ho i love it. It worked very fine in my favorite browers Opera (well with my DI-604 i need to start firefox for configure it). I plug Corporate and Lucky with RJ-45 cable and WEP-crypted wireless for my new laptop RUN. Very secured with a nice administration interface and very easy to configure.

Acer AL2017 Acer AL2017

My main screen for Corporate a nice black Acer AL2017 LCD 20 inches, 4:3 format. I don't like 16:9 panoramique format since i mainly doing web stuff on my computer. It's a cheap and nice buy but i may buy a glossy screen like the one on my laptop for my next screen, and of course a bigger one.

MyBook Western Digital External Hard Drive MyBook

A new western digital USB external hard drive. I do not use it too much but i love it when it's time to make backup or temporaly store some files. Costly but very usefull.

AMD Athlon XP 1666 MHz, 768 Meg RAM DDR SDRAM, GeForce FX5200 128 Meg, 60 Gig IDE Harddrive, Optical : 1 DVD Writer, 1 CD Writer.
