Foreign Perspectives

I’m just getting settled in with the new laptop (Toshiba A200) which is something of a major upgrade from the last one weighing in at 200GB disc, 2GB RAM and 1.86GHz dual-core (which isn’t the same as Core Duo in case you were wondering).

Unfortunately, Microsoft in their wisdom saw fit to not bother testing Outlook 2003 running under Vista. It worked quite nicely yesterday but has now totally given up on me so I’m in the process of downloading yet another patch in an attempt to sort it out.

Sadly my trusty Norton speed tester dating from way back in 1996 won’t run under Vista so I’ll have to find something similar to carry on my unbroken record from the computer I had way back then. Suffice to say that it’s a LOT faster than the Toshiba A5 that it’s replacing.
