Fingers Crossed

Friday morning and I'm waiting for a delivery to arrive at the bar then it's off up into town to see if that Netbook is waiting for collection as was promised..........

.............I did consider, for a fleeting moment, to leave it in its box until my birthday but now I know just how the Vicar of Dibley feels towards a box of chocolates, sooooo, it's unpacked, fired-up and I'm getting to know it. Within its miniscule size it sports:

• WindowsXP(SP3)
• 512MB RAM
• 40Gb HDD
• 2 USB ports
• 10/100 LAN
• WiFi
• Modem
• WebCam
• Card Reader

Which is rather more than I expected for the price and will do me just fine. Lack of a CD drive is not a problem, files can be downloaded off the internet or transferred via either a USB memory stick or LAN. It has also come with a soft carry pouch so I can't wait to show it off in the bar tonight.

PS What a cinch, I've just installed my favourite webcam program, it has found the inbuilt webcam on its own and set everything up automatically, I can now see me!
