Monday, Monday

Dell Dimension PC
Our new monster PC

Every other day, every other day,
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
You can find me cryin' all of the time

Monday Monday, ...

Oh Mama, Oh Papa, I couldn't have said it better myself. Not only is it a Monday which sucks, it's worse than that since I've had to go into work today to do some extra hours to cover off all the work that we have had come in over the past couple of weeks.

So not only am I battling with the phones which are ringing off the hooks, in the absence of wearing my invisible cloak the boss realises that I'm in the office on a non-standard day and starts sending me other work to do as well. Thanks for that!

Back home and Phil arrives with the new PC that had been delivered to his work place, so no sooner as we've unloaded it all from the car we start to set it up in the study. Thats quite a task in itself since we have to make room for it and move a lot of stuff around, but eventually we squeeze everything somewhere.

The more tricky bit of course is setting up the PC in terms of the software, files and settings that we had on the old computer (we have a lot more weird stuff than most people) and whilst we (ie. Phil) has a good crack at it there are still a few things that we (ie. Phil) needs to do to get us (ie. Me) up to full speed ;) heheheh :)

After a long slog then the new PC is going well (thanks Phil for getting it usable for me for tomorrow!) and we test out the graphics card with some pretty graphic intensive games, and it copes very well indeed.

I have to say I'm not sure how well I'll adjust to using 2 monitors at the same time, but I'm sure it will be a useful thing to have once I remember that there 2 of them at my disposal. Certainly will help with getting around the old flicking between windows PITA.

You'll adapt soon enough to the two monitor thing. And you'll hate working on a single-screen box ever after :)
