Not for weeks yet

It has been like my birthday.

Last night, not only did the DVDs I ordered from Amazon (BSG s1 and Limbo) arrive, but also the long awaited ASIM #20 (many thanks girliejones if that was your doing).

Just now, my new PC arrived. That is pretty impressive - less than a week from placing the order to getting it here, configured to my specs and tested, from Malaysia.

Excuse me if I'm not very social this weekend - I will be distracted by all the shiny new toys.

Its aaaaalive

Well, the new PC works. It wasn't quite as easy as it looked - why make a power switch that hard to find?! *headhand*

But I have most of the essential software loaded and I have restored everything from backup. Including my mail archive which took a bit of sweating to get Thunderbird to pick it all up. I suppose I still have many days of going through, turning off all the "helpful and friendly" features that they have added to more recent windows versions.
