not much to actually write here - just that I'm doing this on my new Advent 4211 Netbook, which so far seems to be working a dream. Considering that it's less than half the size of my good old Dell workhorse, and only about a kilo in weight, and that it does pretty much everything I need a computer to do - surf stuff, hold documents and do writing on - I'm pleased.
Here's a picture of me looking ecstatic taken using the inbuilt webcam.
