Tech talk

It's been "upgrade the laptop" day today.  I have installed a new hard disk and transferred the contents of the old disk to it, and now I'm preparing to upgrade the operating system.  I've been playing "hunt the compatible memory" with Paradigm PCs and I think they've found some I can safely order.  I went looking for a cable to use with the PCMCIA modem, didn't find one, but CBS (who don't seem to have a web site!) sold me a secondhand modem complete with cables, probably cheaper than tracking down and ordering a cable for the other one. So I haven't done any walking today. Naughty girl - no chocolate ration.
