We Came, We Saw, We Fixed.
Many thanks to my oldest pal Ben and to the friendly folk at Technical Support Forums who helped me muster the nerve to fix my broken, sickly computer by myself - rather than fork out £££s to have it repaired at a London fixit shop. It was a major triumph of inner courage and frugality.
My machine went dead two weeks ago and it was like losing a family member. It's ressurection was better than Christmas (surely Easter - ed).
In other news...
The Goodies have been touring in Australia. I found a blog entry from someone (clearly a big fan) who'd seen a show... Read the report.
I know what your secret is! :)

Glad I could help.
Thing about computers is - they are much easier to work on now than they used to be. And parts are so cheap - so no-one should be ripping anyone off anymore when it comes to computer repair.
Tim, when are we going to do a blog entry about Ken Morse, The Rostrum King?
Hooray for technology!
I get jumpy if my computer is switched off; only to boot it up, look at your blog, then immediately run out of things to do. What's with that?
On the hardware note: I switched on my new soundcard at the weekend, then looked at my receipt. It's been 9 clear months since I bought and installed it. 9 months doing nothing! Is that fear? Lethargy? I don't know. Perhaps my massive tower of a PC *can* do more than show the Web and check email. Sheesh! Couldn't even the Z80 do that?
