Did this chat night go ahead?If so, any chance of a quick recap for those of us who don't do MSN chat?Although I do have a hotmail.com addy, I joined back in the days before Microsoft owned Hotmail, when I used to understand how computers worked. Alas I didn't keep up with the tech know-how, and now all I do is press buttons I've heard from a few others that Windows 7 can be a bit irritating. Luckily I've got good 'ol XP Pro However, there has been a bit of movement in Vanessa's Tech set-up, as my trusty old Dell XP M1210 laptop now sports a Solid State Drive in place of the HDD. (No, I didn't fit it myself, someone with vastly superiour computing abilities than I, did). I can say that it's TOTALLY AWESOME!It's transformed the speed of the machine, the egg-timer symbol is now almost a thing of the past, and without the familiar whine of the old HDD, the machine is almost completely (and quite eerily) silent, with only the occasional sound of the processor cooling fan kicking in. Definitely a mod well worth doing, and not at all expensive either.
Evasive Manoeuvres!
