I'm back!

Okay, I'm back, and that's official. I've finally wrapped my head around the fact that my laptop has totally died after 20 months of use. I've picked out a new one (more about that in a later post) - and it's most definitely NOT an Acer. Knickers to Acer! I have another £150 to save for it yet, so I won't be getting it until the end of June or the beginning of July. I've managed to retrieve all my data from the Acer, but for some reason, I can't copy any of it via the PC's CD drive. But not to worry. I'm going to hook up the external CDRW, as no internal CD drive has ever worked properly in this cranky old PC. I'll be virus scanning it all, and then all being well, I'll upload it to my Mediafire account. I've also got another free data storage account - Mediamax, I think - so in future, I'll be backing up my most important data online. I have so much, it'll be a pain in the bum to upload, even with broadband. I might wait until my speed is upgraded to 10 MB. Oh well, onwards and upwards ...
