Breaths a sigh of relief...

Finally and at long last, I think the laptop is finally set up. Took long enough though. First I had to do a rebuild back to the default factory state to get rid of what the shop put on it, then un-install half the crap that comes with the factory build, download and install McAfee, add Firefox, then install Office 2007 Ultimate (502 Mb download), get all the MS updates (another 307Mb of downloads) and finally this evening, I've got it hooked up to the WiFi network, once of course I'd replaced the older Netgear DG834 with the wireless Netgear DG834N. Hallelujah! It all works - at least at the moment.
Wonder if I can have a little peace now to track back into Piglet and start messing with the PHP? Not a chance I shouldn't think.
Tomorrow gets the MRI on my back out the way, so another trip to KFNGH. At least I'll get to lie down whilst that happens - maybe I'll even catch 40 winks... ;)
Whilst I'm here, check out this image over at flickr: Day 154 - Living Room Levitation. I first spotted one of Lisa's photos around 12 months back and she just keeps getting better and better. If you have a moment, drop in and say hi, tell her I sent you...
