Woohoo!

After a long series of unfortunate events, I've finally visited the far side of the bell-shaped curve. I won a free laptop (when I desperately needed but couldn't afford a new computer), and it was delivered on my birthday!

I have 10 metres of ethernet cable to keep me mobile until I get a wireless connection at home. Now I just need a remote control (unless there's one hiding in the packaging?).

It comes with video out, so I can run GeeXboX on it.

The machine is a Dell Vostro, and the bank running the promotion which required no skill or virtue was ING.
