New Desk

Well it arrived on time at around 9:15 this morning, and I decided that I spend an hour or so putting it all together and then load the old unassembled one into the car and take it to the tip.

The new desk is a very smart chrome and frosted glass top affair, and it did go together very easily; much better than in the old days of MFI where you need a degree in Serbo-Croat to be able to understand the instructions. The problems started when the time came to put my computer back together again. Just how many cables can the human mind cope with and retain its sanity.

Anyway, it did all go back together except that I seemed to have a spare USB cable that I couldn't seem to find a use for, until after much head scratching I remembered my digital camera.

Then came the time for testing. Hey presto everything was fine until I tried my printer. After about 2 hours of installing/uninstalling printer drivers, the computer finally agreed to communicate with the printer, and suddenly it was time for lunch.

So rather later than I had expected I have found the time to make this posting.
