Two reasons for the long gap between this post and the last. Firstly, I have been working extremely long days at work with little time for anything else other than food and sleep. The start of each year brings new management structures and resource models and it is the mission of jobbing managers such as me to turn these paper exercises into reality. Secondly, the new HP PC threw up a few problems and, after two weeks of hassle, I returned it to the store for an exchange. Whilst the knackered subwoofer was a simple 'faulty from new' hardware issue, I found the wireless keyboard to be a PITA. Even when set up as prescribed in the manual, it seems as though it is unable to cope with anything other than very slow and deliberate typing, frequently skipping letters and making writing anything lengthy a very frustrating task. Other than that, the setup is great and, for as long as I am on a Windoze box, XP appears to be a step forward in terms of usability and stability.
