Purely physical update: I no longer feel like the Cirque du Soleil is rehearsing in my stomach, so that's good, though I slept from 8PM till midnight and then, again, couldn't get back to sleep tonight. Argh. I'm trying not to stress about stressing, but it's getting annoying as fuck, especially since I'm can't concentrate on anything.

In other news, some time just before I left for work yesterday I managed to delete the DNS addresses for my connection, thus leaving me unable to actually get online. Oops. But at least while I was trying to find the letter with the DNS addies in it, I came across the docs for my computer, so at least now I know which RAM I need and how much I can get and stuff.

I think I'll go buy stuff this weekend. RAM, new HD, and possibly (depending on price and need/want) an extra "slot" of USB ports and a graphics card. Right.

Also, randomly:

A good place to buy computer bits from is http://www.scan.co.uk. The prices are decent, and from what I've heard, the quality good. I bought memory from http://www.orcalogic.co.uk - they were the cheapest I could find for my (expensive) iBook memory.

Retail places are likely to be overpriced. :o/

Retail places also have salespeople that can make sure I'm actually getting the correct memory. :D But thanks for the links, will check those out.

How long did it take you to get the memory delivered, BTW?

http://www.crucial.com/uk have a 'memory selector' - feed it the information and it'll tell you what kind of RAM you need. Then go somewhere else and buy it. :oD

IIRC, it only took a couple of days. I was really impressed.

Also! Did you say you had a copy of XP?

[wibbble]

Should do, somewhere. I can't give any promises on how useful it will be, though. It claims to be the corporate edition, so won't require activation, but it might be lying.

Hm, best test it out first, then, before I actually wipe the other drive. Are you guys free this weekend?

[wibbble]

Actually, no, we have a Buffy marathon planned with karenbear. :o/ Next, maybe?

Sure! It'll probably take me till then to get everything I need, anyway. (Tough I need to buy a new router today. Argh!)
