It Came!

 The OH is so happy. The new computer really did come today, despite having to be delivered to the back of beyond. Pictorial proof.

It came in one of the biggest cardboard boxes either of us have ever seen, and he spent a happy morning assembling it - it works! so that's a good thing, and he's spending a slightly less happy afternoon uploading software onto it. Unlike our previous ones this is a big white box with a transparent side and almost empty; that's going to take some getting used to. Meanwhile I struggle on with my laptop; there's nothing wrong with it really so I shouldn't say struggle, it's just that three of the keys on the keyboard are temperamental in the extreme, and account for some of the typos that slip through on here, since one of them is I.
