I've been to Hell (well, Aberdeen, anyway)

I suppose I'd better update this, and start updating more regularly as well.

So, I'm now back in St Andrews with my new computer and shiny USB drive. Now, while I'm impressed by the fact that I now have a computer capable of running games made after 1999 (oh, and it'll probably be good for work too, I don't know) it won't be connected up until ITS get round to it - so at the moment I'm still on my old one, typing this as I try and set up the new one to make it as much like old Windows as possible. My room looks slightly like the flight deck of the Starship Enterprise.

Now all I have to do is find a way to get all my DOS things working on the new one as well. I mean "do some revision". Yes, that's it.

The bridge, y'mean? Oh and don't bother making friends with those wearing red shirts. They'll be dead before the episode ends.......

now that you have a new computer, perhaps you'll be able to run ICQ and we can talk? :)

Yesterday Chris and I watched a film that had the token 'computer hacker' in it (the film was the 'The Score' and it's very good...even Chris liked it!) and they had him playing every stereotype - living in his mum's basement, playing Quake 3, having flame wars with people in chatrooms....and of course, the multiple screens. People who make movies seem to think that's a sure sign of a nerdy computer hacker. So watch out...you're one step closer to being that guy!

S-"core", that sounds good. (All right, it didn't quite work)

Anyway, it took me a while to respond to you as I was playing Quake 3 D-¦>

Yes - however, it needs to be connected up to the network first and that's up to IT Services. I hope it'll be tomorrow that it starts working, though.
