Load It Up

A computer in my possession can only remain a virgin so long. I am determined, though, to keep it as pure as possible (how many times have I said that...). I now have my old laptop permanently placed on the counter in my office, tethered to power, network, cameras, and printer, to act as my office hub. It still has life left in it, eventhough no longer at my side wherever I wander. In fact, I am going to drive another audio stream off of it, focusing on just the Chester County frequencies, using my Radio Shack Pro-2052. First things installed were Firefox, Arachnophilia, and WS-FTP, my basic tools of the trade. Today, I am installing the other goodies in my toolbox, ArcGIS 9.1 and Fireworks. I am having a problem with ArcGIS at the moment. I got the full product and all my data installed, considerably faster than the last time I did it courtesy of the Duo Core and a gig of memory. Now, after filling out the registration information, I am getting unable to connect to the registration server. The good thing is that I can just go back a step and keep trying. The bad thing is that I have to click a dozen check boxes to get my extensions registered. In the meanwhile, I will go off and collect my ArcGIS add-ons so they will be ready to go. Still freaking raining here - maybe I should be building an ark versus building Arc(GIS)...
