So no less than 12 days after I ordered it my new laptop has finally arriived! I’m still getting used to the compact keyboard and how tiny everything on the screen is (it’s running the same resolution as my 17″ TFT and bare in mind it’s a 12″ screen, I would alter it but then I would loose widescreen).
It’s so portable it’s amazing and runs at a decent speed. I’ve spent the day filling it up with the apps I need though there are plenty more I need to get.
I am also debating over what to do with regards to the email situation. I was switching to Thunderbird but having used it for a day I’ve found out how bad the software actually is. I much prefer Outlook Express, it lets you know what’s happening, it orders things sensibly, the download mail button actually does something it’s those kind of fancy features I like. And the amount of false positives my spam filter is bringing up is silly. Worse still, when you say something isn’t spam it doesn’t even move it back to your inbox. It just leaves it there in junk.
Still on the bright side it’s all wireless and can be placed on a surface without overheating, indeed on carpet. Might have to do some late night chatting in bed tonight. It’s also been a small distraction from life in general which has been considerably less enjoyable over the past few weeks (and it’s not like it was on a high starting point to begin with).
