Well, my trusty old computer finally drew its last breath, curled up and died. Just to take a wild guess at what's busted, I'd go for motherboard and processor, system drive and power source. Yep.. all of the above. There had been problems before, but this time the cranky old machine defied all attempts to resuscitate it. Bugger.

But, as good news, now i got myself a brand new 'puter because of the kindness of an Anonymous Sponsor (thanks, Dad ) The only problem is that my brand-spanking-new Acer Aspire E380 has Windows Vista (TM) installed, and I'm beginning to see why I've heard so many people complaining about it... Maybe i should just learn to use Linux or something.

May is getting awfully close to it's end and this apartment has to be empty and thoroughly cleaned by Friday.. I'm moving to Helsinki for the summer, but I'm back here again by the end of August. This whole moving business really sucks. It's been raining all day here and there is a sense of thunder in the air.. My head has been aching constantly today and I haven't been able to do anything even remotely productive. All this crap should be checked, packed and all useless stuff thrown away, but I barely manage to muster the energy for writing this.

Well, I'll get back to the joyous endeavour of trying to get programs installed and working on this new PC.. that is, if I can even find half of the installation disks... and probably most of my old programs are too old to work with Vista anyway

Take care, you all and don't get sick!
