After writing all that about how I planned to blog much more often, I managed to fail. However, I do have an excuse. I got a virus on my laptop. I was downloading 'Doom' for my PC. It was not Doom at all, but it doomed my laptop.

After this, I had to have a computer specialist come around and repair the mess. The virus had corrupted my Microsoft Vista - so it was nearly useless. After two hours, I had all repaired. Only one problem remained. The WLAN switch on my Fujitsu Siemens had broken! Hurrah! Just what I need before Christmas. However, the expert had the idea of a USB Adapter. I no longer have to press the shortcut to turn WLAN on. The specialist had a Buffalo Wireless G AirStation. I bough the disc and the Adapter for £40. He even threw in Microsoft Publisher 2003. This was the one part of the Microsoft Office range I lacked - and of course every school homework required it. So now I have it. Three hours work, a Buffalo Adapter, AVG Anti Virus and Publisher '03 - £60. Not bad. Not bad at all. Even better, I still have enough cash left to buy my iPod Nano 8GB. Christmas could go alright after all.
