Back to the future...

Back to comfortable blogging (in comfy chair with 802.11g(encripted)), thanks to Mr Credit Card, I now have a brand new Laptop that I hope will last. It's an IBM ThinkPad R51, so I really really hope so. Graphics card is the Dogs Whatnots, even better than my desktop PC. Has taken a few days to get it back to where my old laptop was in terms of software etc. and configuring it to have three partitions (Progs, Swap and Data - so that the Windows temp area does not get fragmented and slow down the machine). I am also paranoid enough to backup all of my work to 3 CD-RW's (each a copy) and my desktop PC, and work in progress that ends up on the weekly backup on a USB pen - so no 'work' lost.
