Sunday, August 31

 My computer was a bit reluctant to start this morning and, when I tried to open Blogger to record my 'thought of the day'. it downright refused to cooperate. It told me there was probably an internet cable unplugged, which was ludicrous as I have a wifi connection.

 Being a natural pessimist, I immediately sent my thoughts to having to buy a replacement.  But, should I go for another All-in-one desktop or would a decent-sized laptop be better?  Should I buy something from Officeworks or might I do better on Amazon or Kogan, on-line?

I spent an hour browsing on my tablet and came to the conclusion that, really, a local supplier like Officeworks would be better, but I would have to outlay several hundreds of dollars.  As Jamie often says, if something goes wrong, it's more satisfying to walk into the shop and throw it back at them.  You can't do that with Kogan.

I finally settled on a Lenovo all-in-one desktop.  It was white which would be a change and not too expensive.  Decision made, I went back to the old computer to have one more try at getting it to go.

Of course, it behaved itself and started without any bother.  Bugger!
