Getting back to normal!

After what I can only describe as a bit of a disaster, when my original base computer crashed in what seems like a pretty terminal manner, I'm finally getting back on my technological feet!

The old machine I bought about 7 years ago, I think; it was an e-machines cheapy from PC World, and it eventually died when the power supply gave up. Someone locally put the original innards into a new box, and we were under way again.

But it died again a couple of weeks ago - and heroic efforts, including buying a new graphics card for £50, haven't resulted in any useable effect, sad to say.

So I've got a new Dell, which I'm gradually equipping with all the software I like. It doesn't run Vista; it's been "downgraded" by Dell to XP, so it'll still run my last major spend on softward without hitches. When I loaded by old XP dreamweaver onto a Vista machine, it promptly died!

Next week, I've just got to sort out my printer problems, take the old HD drive out of the old machine, and get the email system sorted . . . nothing much to do then!
