Updates

Thanks for the suggestions for the fancy dress party. Got another two today: Patsy from Absolutely fabulous or a tourist (which really seems like an easy way out). Will rush in to town tomorrow and see what I can find... Report will follow!

But I am quite proud at the moment - I have finally fixed my (formerly) slow laptop! After some correspondence with the computer guys at Uni, I did even more googling myself. Their responses didn't work, and I just felt that I knew more about the problem than they did. So eventually I got bored of waiting, and decided to just deal with it. Uninstalled Office, made a back up of my bloated folder, removed all files associated with Office, and then installed Office 2007. So, now I have almost 45 Gb more memory on the computer, no slow start up, no programs which want to constantly update, and the latest version of Office! (Even got Outlook again, which works nicely with my gmail. And also Publisher, which I really like. Yay!) Emailed the computer people and told them about my success. They wrote back and said they were very impressed and would add my solution to their 'solution database'. Oh yeah! I could have been an IT-guru!
