The Upgrade Cometh…

I’ve just ordered a new PC. A whole powerhouse machine of dual-core loveliness, custom-made just for me at vast expense.

I’ve been building up to it for weeks. I decided ages ago that the time had come based purely on how tricksy “Spasm” has been getting of late (he’s really struglling to run Fruity Loops now) and it didn’t take much time to figure out what I needed, but I will admit that the delay has purely been caused by the cost.

It’s not that I can’t afford it, mind - I’ll be honest, I’m quite well set up at the moment - but somehow I have an inbuilt reluctance to spend any amount of money that stretches into three figures. Call it a hangover from my student days (and I had a fair few of those at the time).

So… in about a week and a half I hope to have it sitting here, purring gently and eagerly leaping to perform any task I should ask of it.

I can hardly wait.
