The Last Post

With any luck, this will be the last post I make from this machine.

My friend, Glyn, who has done so much to keep this brute up and running across the years, has built me a new one from scratch and having tested it, is expected about 3pm this afternoon, for delivery and install. I daresay that there will be some fun to be had shifting applications around and all, but this will be the first new build from scratch that I have had in a computer for close on ten years.

This machine, Frankenstein, as I like to call it, has been upgraded bit by bit in that time, so that I think the floppy drive is all that is left of the original. Since I cannot remember when I actually used a floppy disk last, I shall be waving a tearful farewell to it when the new machine arrives.

A little of Frankenstein will live on, however. The 200Gig Hard Drive I installed a couple of years ago will be shipped to the new machine to complement the 500Gig drive in the new machine. What with the 750 Gig Seagate external drive I also have, I anticipate that it will take hours for my storage space to get used up.
