Normal service…?

Touch wood I am now back to normal on the computing front. I’m now operating on a spanking new PC, and I also treated myself to a tablet PC for travel and fallback (largely on Tony Goodson’s enthusiastic reviews)

So far, Windows XP seems a whole lot more robust than ME which I was running before. And the upgrade in techology is certainly speeding up programs like Sharpreader and Fireworks
