Compter-rific day
The Dell tech showed up this morning to get the DVD out of the laptop drive. This particular model has no manual eject. He showed up when he said he would and did a good job, so I’m pretty happy with that aspect of the experience.
The drive itself was clearly a kung-fu master as it snapped the disk in half.
I now have an external USB2/Firewire 5.25″ enclosure into which I have whacked a spare (tray loading!) DVD-RW unit so this particular problem shouldn’t recur.
The iMac (now named ladybird) also arrived this morning. Lovely lovely bit of kit. The only slight hitch is that with the fonts cranked up as large as I want there isn’t quite enough room for, say, a web browser and a chat window on a single virtual desktop. On the other hand, damn big fonts!
