HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
Velly velly happy.
Just been out and spent 400 quid on a new PC, as the old one's been wheezing and groaning for months and frequently just gave up altogether. And I didn't realise how bad things were until I got this new one up and running. It's fantastic - it's... it's... fandabbydozy!!! It's got a tyrannosorousbite of something with an inteli3 thingy, 4 gbs of RUM and Windows 2053. Can you see me metaphorically flexing my virtual pecs at you...? Is mine bigger than yours, or what???

The computer shop chappy was wonderfully helpful, full of info and when I explained what an IT idiot I was (don't think he really needed me to tell him...) he lent me his assistant to come and set everything up for me. Bless him. I said to Bee that it would have taken me 3 days of cursing and sweating to get it sorted - he had the whole lot set up in 40 minutes! It would have taken me that long to get it out of the box... It's got sobyappers so great sound, and now I plan to start exploring the world of movie downloads (again well behind the times, but never mind!) We have a nice big tv and the CD/DVD player has a plug'ole for my memory stick, so I can transfer and watch film etc with that. I only discovered that yesterday... Oh I know, but it's all wonderfully new to me!
When I told the boss at the shop that my pc was about 5 years old his jaw literally dropped. Now, I know that technology is moving on and up at a fair old lick, but it prompted me to wonder just what the expected working life of a pc is now? If I think about it, 5 years is probably the longest I've had a pc, but I only started in 1998. And I think that one cost me about 1600 quid!

I've just downloaded firefox 4 - I had Maxthon before, so was this a wise move? Does it matter at all? I've lost all my favourites, am I just going to have to build them up again as I go?
Life could be worse - new pc today, and Bee's buying a new bed tomorrow
