broken computer
The noise from my computer’s CPU fan makes me physically ill, its a strain to sit in the same room. In addition, windows crashes frequently, and many applications won’t run. Its long past time for a new computer.
My apologies to those who has sent long emails and been disappointed at no reply, and to those who would have liked me to write on my blog more often. Short ones I can manage, longer ones and I have to run from the room before completing them.
Hopefully normal service can be resumed soon once I make the decision and fork out the money. Until that time, I haven’t ignored you, but I can only reply to short emails.

Perhaps a silly thought, but… If the sound causes pain, might earplugs help?
Cu,

Ian,
I saw this tidbit recently and thought you might find it handy (or maybe not, I’ve no real idea of prices in the PC marketplace…)
If you are on a health care card, you can get a overhauled Pentium III system from Workventures IT for $399. They are ex Government and from big businesses like Westpac. They come with Windows 98.

That’ll teach me to preview first :-)
