This has been the first time that I felt "safe" typing, after the pain and discomfort of the trapped nerve.

The honest thing is my arm/hand still feels "ODD". I have feeling in my fingers (unlike three weeks ago) but it feels tired at the moment. I suspect thats possibly just because i haven't used it fully for two weeks - and I'm just unfit, as such.

Well, in the mean time, we have received our new computer - YIPHEEEEEEEEEEE.

This is one of these "Encouragement" packages via the Government and a number of Businesses and Local Authorities. The idea is to encourage more people to have a computer in their home, at an affordable cost.

To cut the explanation short, you pay for the computer directly out of your wages, and as part of that, you get some of the money back as a cut in your Income Tax (and I'm all in favour of that)

The machine we have has come via BTHomecomputing and Hewlett Packard (HP) (we have the t685uk model). this model is supposed to be created with Photo manipulation in mind. That said it plays games lovely - it makes our old computer look like an Eighties Pocket Calculator. the new machine is absolutely FAB.

And the real "shocker" is how good the Screen is.

No longer a CRT screen.

A 17" LCD screen. The image is so much more than what we are used to. the image is clearer, brighter, sharper. We've had this computer now for nearly a week and I'm still in awe of the screen, the whole machine.

I know, in the coming weeks and months we will probably "get used to it", but now, I just can't leave the damned thing alone.

Boy I'm so happy.
