A new compooooter

I am using a nearly 4 year old windows 7 BTO which has been great.
Absolutely no trouble since the the final repair ( see my post on July 25 2012)
after trying to fob me off with a crappy MOBO.
Now as I gave up my teaching job and am working from home doing online stuff I really need to have a backup 'puter to use in case this oone decides to go haywire or something.
Going for a windows 10 laptop from Mouse computer




Specs look pretty good and I want to try the SSD to see how much better (maybe) they are. Don't need such a  high spec machine so at this price seems good.

Waddayaallthink?

Made by a company called mouse computer
I shouldn't be put off by the picture on this home page

Wow! is it that long since I posted on here.
Time sure goes by quickly
As Groucho Marx said:
Time flies like an arrrow
Fruit flies like a banana

Probably dosen't matter. Nobody reads this blog except me anyway

Well, a litte update on the immigration fiasco.
There was a hearing in the supreme court in London in February 2016
3 days worth of legalese and other stuff
You can watch it all here, if you like.

Be prepared to know that it is just slightly more interesting than watching paint dry. However, hopefully the judges can see that there is no logic in the decision to establish 18600 pounds as a reasonable amount that someone could be expected to earn. We shall see. Keep a look out for the judgement around September of this year.

Someone said the law is an ass.
Don't remember who, but I think not just the law.
How about the people (person) who makes a law that
splits up families for no other than a ridiculous financial requirement.
