It has been a very hard weekend spent sitting in front of computer screens. The new laptop runs on Windows 7, which I must say is much better than Vista (which is installed on Jo's laptop. I wouldn't touch it). Maybe 7 is as good as an up to date Windows XP which I had on my old laptop. Sadly it won't be as stable as Mac System 7 which was the latest thing in the late 1980's. We shall see!
One recurring problem with Windows system upgrades is that many programmes such as my printer driver are not compatible with the new Windows 7 and have to be updated. My U3 flash drives all had to be updated in Windows XP and then loaded into the Windows 7 environment. It all works but it is a bloody hassle on my last day in the UK. Jo has been very very patient and is presently loading music onto her Ipod which she is graciously allowing me to take to Liberia. I wonder if it will ever come back.
Boots our cat recognises the indicators of imminent travel, he sits in my partially packed suitcase and comments upon my selection of underwear and socks. I console him with the news that he can take over my side of the bed. I haven't weighed my suitcase yet, with and without the cat.
