Still Cloudy, Overcast And Cool!

It is about 22 degrees outside as I type. Almost cool enough for tracksuit trousers and socks! Overnight we have continued to endure cooler showery weather, there were 14mls in the rain gauge this morning.

The computer guy Scott called yesterday about checking out the older PC. He will come over tonight and run a couple of tests on it to confirm the problem is the hard disk drive. If it does come up as being 'sick' he will install a temp hard drive in the computer to give it a good test. Looks like I will be doing some reformatting on the old PC tomorrow and then we will see how it goes. If the problem disappears I will purchase another hard drive for it. I am not sure what I will do with it then.

Scott later popped in to collect a copy of the "loader" I use for Windows 7. After installing Windows 7 (you don't put any registration info in at all) you can have free access to Windows 7 operating system for 30 days. Just run this little program, restart your PC and check the Properties of "Computer" and it now tells you it is now a fully activated version! It now does official updates and everything.

Scott had a mate who was installing Windows 7 so he thought he would give the "Loader" a try.

Trish is doing volunteer work at the Tourist Information Centre this morning and we are both watching our footy teams play each other on TV this afternoon.
