Yesterday my

Crucial 128mb "Gizmo" USB Memory Stick turned up. Its ace and quite fast. Been copying stuff off my laptop onto it all morning and will be installing some stuff to it as well, so I can run some network apps on my laptop.

Regarding yesterdays link to a huge sandwich, I ahve remembered that I have a bread maker. Ic ould do the same (but on a slightly reduced scale). If I could just find the gluten free recipe...

I also managed to secure a new machine yesterday (yes - another one). This will be replacing my main machine (and utilising some pieces from it). My friend Andy is upgrading his main gaming PC, so has offered me:

Intel 845PEBT2 Motherboard
Intel Pentium 4 2.0GHz (533FSB) CPU
2x TwinMOS 512mb DDR333 RAM
40Gb IDE hdd

for a very reasonable price. When matched up with my DVDROM, DVD-RW, ATI Radeon 9600XT gfx card and my Hercules Game Theatre XP sound card - this will be quite a formidable bit of kit. The mobo can support upto a 3.06Ghz (533FSB) processor as well...

A new case and stuff will be required. I was tempted to get one with all the fancy stuff, lights, side panels, coloured fans, etc - but its too expensive. I have a small budget and I'm not going to go mad, so just basic stuff for the new machine.
