Nothing to report, except that this is the first day of the joyful four years until the next World Cup :P
New Computer Update... Okay, it's not much of an upgrade, processor-wise (1.8 GHz), and every half-hour I find myself wishing it had this or that piece of software installed (latest: UO Automap), but boy does this modem leave the one in the other PC in the dust. Not once so far have I logged on at a speed anything less that 45.5Kbps, and sometimes even at 46.6!
May not sound like much, but for me, it's an improvement. No technical troubles to report, so I guess I should be happy. Laptop research is ongoing, with no firm decision expected soon - it doesn't help, nor impress me, that "The Repair Shop" appears to have closed its branch in town.
Guess I better get back to work now. These stories don't write themselves...
