First Wiblog entry made from new laptop! She's very shiny. Toshiba Equium, Genuine Intel processor, 60 gig hard disk. Twenty-four hour's worth of music stored on her so far and counting. She's running Windows Vista (which I possibly wouldn't have gone for if I'd been choosing it myself), which is actually very useable and seems to be heavily based on the latest Mac OSs, in that fine Microsoft tradition of ripping everything else off. I rather like it, actually-which I'm sure I shouldn't. I was only playing with her till four in the morning last night... [blush]
Oh, bugger-I've already started referring to her using female pronouns.
She hooked up to the wireless network no trouble at all (old laptop never once spoke to our wireless network), and hasn't yet given me a second of trouble over anything.
She became infinitley more useable once I deleted most of the automatic stuff and downloaded Firefox, Trillian, OpenOffice and iTunes. WinSCP works fine (I had some trouble with it on my mother's comuputer the other day), but I can't get Ameol to co-operate quite right-that's probably just me being thick, and I'll get dad to poke it later.
I am still trying Very Hard to resist the temptation to download Second Life.
