A is for anguish when you realise you have to find all your favourites again

B is for Broadband, why you are going through all this in the first place

C is for confuddlement, of which there is a great deal whilst you are trying to work out how to get it working

D is for Doh!

E is for e-mail addresses which you now need to swap over into a new address book, (once you've worked out how to get into your e-mail in the first place)

F is for f**k, which I have to admit was being a little overused for a while

Grey lead, as opposed to black lead and blue lead and urggh - which is for where???

H is for helpline who were v.helpful and got me there in the end

I is for internet access, which is so much quicker

J is for just a minute, I need to check how this works

K is for kids who understand the technology and so are almost as useful as the official helpline

L is for lovely people on the instant messaging helpline thingy, really they were

M is for muddled muppet (or me)

N is for never again, I swear

O is for opportunity for the ISP to make even more money out of you by trying to pursuade you that you need all sorts of extra services that actually you don't want but think might be useful (managed to resist :D)

P is for previous ISP cruelly dumped after a couple of years, because of price.

Q is for quick, it is very compared to previous experience, (just like being at work)

R is for router which looks lovely on my desk, now it has got to the right address. It is black with green lights and I hope in future finds itsway into the Tate Modern as an exhibit

S is for saving passwords, this is going to be v.convienient

T is for technophobe trauma (when all that was needed was using upper or lower case throughout)

U is for unusual way of doing things. You get very used to one layout and it's going to take time to get used to the new way

V is for variety of ideas that the other user had as to what to use for her username

W is for the Wibsite, which was the first thing I saved into favourites

X is for the person or persons whom I have forgotten to give my new e-mail address to. (Eek, how many people do I get newsletters, etc from that I now need to go in and change my profile for)

Y is yes I have honestly got this upgrade in life for study purposes, i.e. to make getting into PDF files quicker and easier and not for entertainment ones.

Z is for zzzzz, it was all emotionally tiring
