Today I am writing in the evening instead of the early morning. This is because yesterday afternoon I was the recipient of a present of a newish computer, 64 bit dual core. I spent the evening putting in my disc drives and finding out one was not recognised, and dual booting to Linux so I can learn the open source world. I was surprisingly unworried by the few little things that went wrong because I have come to the point that as long as all my work is fully backed up, nothing can harm me.
And although I am late toady I have noted an increase in speed here and also losses for some of the software will not work in the 64 bit environment. But now as I sit here connected to the Internet with all drives working, today’s e-mails all read, and all work backed-up and ready I can take full measure of the speed improvement and maybe not worry so much about the computer stalling.
I can also pass on the gift as mine with its hard drive all ready with an installed OS will be going to someone who needs it. I will try not to be late again!
