Yes, I am still alive. Technically, at least. I got a new computer (well, I had to buy it, kinda spoiling the surprise) for Christmas. I'm pleased to note that with the release of Windows 7, Microsoft has clearly hit one out of the park. I was never a Vista fan, but I had no major problems with it -- just the usual idiosyncracies that plague any OS. But Windows 7 seems unusually robust and well designed. I've yet to find a major (or minor) flaw.

So, I've transferred enough to get started. Now to crawl into that ratsnest of cables beneath my desk (ever notice that "wireless computing" turns out to be as accurate as the "paperless office"?) and hook the new ' puter up. Wish me well, and if you don't hear from me by next week you should probably phone the police or something.
