…. until this afternoon to get the internet connection back and working, but now I\u2019m up and running with my super-duper new laptop.<\/p>\n
And it’s taking some getting used to, I’ll tell you. Especially this \u201c85% \u2013 10 hours 25 minutes \u2013 left\u201d on the battery indicator.<\/p>\n
There are downsides to it, of course. It’s fairly slow – a lot slower than I was expecting. But then, battery life and light weight was what was quite important to me and I certainly have that.<\/p>\n
It took an age to upload everything that I needed – programs and the like from off the internet and the external DVD drive (which, much to my surprise, I found quite easily amongst the rubble). But I bet that I’ve forgotten something quite important.<\/p>\n
And when I can lay my hands on a 2.5″ external caddy, I’ll take the hard drive out of the old laptop and copy the data over. It’s all there, complete and uncorrupted (I hope).<\/p>\n
All of that has taken me most of the day and there has been little time to do much else. As you know, I’m leaving here for the UK in a day or two and I need the laptop set up for then. <\/p>\n
