You know when you dont trust a computer as far as you could throw it.. (like most others of a particular species I wont mention - OOO bitter!), well thats how I feel about this computer. Its going to crash the minute I set it to processing this blog, so for that reason its not going to be a long one. Which is a shame. I am very much enjoying reading Bill Brysons 'Notes from a Small Island' and he can burble on with the best of them, I wish I was in a position...
