Well this week I have my brand new super powered, GT striped, turbo charged, eco friendly computer up and running. Thatch came around in the afternoon last Thursday and set it up for me. It’s glorious, I keep sitting and waiting for things to happen and then realise that they already have! And the added bonus is that I can now watch (and indeed, burn) DVDs. It can even do two things at once (and I don’t count playing Solitaire as one thing); I’d forgotten what that was like. Thatch was a bit surprised when he saw the size of my My Documents folder. I have an extensive collection of digital scrapbooking elements which are all in .PNG and .PSD files which are very resource intensive. Had a few glitches getting my email program sorted, but that’s now fixed and at least I have the webmail version to fall back on (Seona reminded me of that one). So it’s full steam ahead for massive productivity. Except the new machine comes with a game called Spider Solitaire. It’s like Solitaire meets Freecell. I’m doomed!!!
