From The New Laptop

It has been a fun couple of days after the new laptop arrived. I got the chance to 'set it all up'. It is just about there now and so it is "Blog Test" time. This post is from the new laptop.

Setting it up has been a bit time consuming but a heap of fun. It is now a smaller version of the main PC which goes in tomorrow for a service. This is an excuse to ensure it is all clean inside and to check out my video problems. We will see if the video card is operating properly or not.

It was very busy for me at the Computer Club yesterday. About 6 people tackled me soon after I arrived and we did all things from getting photos from someone's mobile phone to advising on how to 'reformat' a laptop. Other people had problems with programs not doing what they wanted or emails not showing up properly. One guy wanted to know how he could email a section of an Excel document to his 'employers'. He was unaware of copy (Control C) and paste (Control V). He was delighted when he saw how easy it was.

We did a little movie swapping too. Pirate programs and anything illegal is strictly forbidden so this limits what I can tell people about.

Another exciting game of footy for me on TV yesterday with my team just getting over the line. Another one point game on Saturday night made for an exciting day's TV.

It is still lovely and sunny with temps reaching the low 20's. We only had 11mls of rain in July! According to the calendar the coldest part of the year is now over, but a chilly 6 or so this morning indicated we may have some more cool mornings still to come.
