Shiny new 'puter

[matgb]

I'll be updating the bio once it's all set up, but thanks to a friend's son upgrading his PC, I have a shiny new box sat under my desk at home. It's so new, it doesn't have a dial up modem as standard, so I need to go buy one. 2.6Ghz and lots of RAM. This may even lead me to investigate the use of some of those 'messenger' things people keep going on about. Don't hold your breath on that one though.

Stopped myself playing with it last night to get some sleep, but once I've got a modem for it I'll be fine. Windoze XP tho, the Ubuntu disks still haven't arrived, but at least XP auto partitions on first start up.

Anyone any advice for someone who has never owned a brand new PC, ever?

No matter how hard you try you will never go online without some microsoft product interfering or interacting with the connection.

Sorry to put a downer on things. :)
