This lunchtime, I took the bus to my bank, to pay in a cheque. In their wisdom, my bank have closed the branch which was closest to where I work. A steady drizzle of rain accompanied my trip.
I also visited a second-hand computer shop. Our home computer belongs in a museum, although it continues to give useful service. This latest worm scare, however, has left me uneasy that it isn't powerful enough to run an up-to-date virus checker. I thought about buying a 'pre-owned' computer, but the arithmetic seems to make little sense. For half the price, I get less than a tenth of the power.
