How to waste a day without trying.

I am about to preach to the choir, so feel free to wander off and do something more interesting. I'm just getting this off my chest. Alternately, feel equally free to stay and experience the joys of electronic schadenfreude.

So. As my only reader, you will recall that since 1 April, I have been whining on and off about my PC which, having developed a personality all its own decided that personality should be based on a sullen 15 year old. Some times I would have 196 meg RAM, at others considerably less. Sometimes I would have drives labelled C, D, E, F and a DVD ROM, nomenclature G.

And then sometimes I would just have C and D. And then the problems with temporary internet files would begin because instead of dumping them on the unsullied 15gig goodness of the E Drive (gone walkabout), the PC would cram them on the spare 25 meg left on C.

So much then for the background travails underlying today's woes.

( Why it is better to buy new than upgrade. )

I hate Microsoft.
