p1610 (RSS)
A new year, another new laptop, incorporating the lessons learned from last time . Interesting choice of nomenclature for the new Dell tablet range. <memory lane> My first PC (mostly-)compatible was an XT-class machine . I think we got it in 1988,

Okay, so there's no interest here, but perhaps an anthology anyway. Yes I've been gone a while; another computer packed it in (this time without my own personal brand of assistance ), I've been off to India (usually 5.5 hrs difference from Sydney, but

On Wednesday, my care package from Tegatech arrived - a brand new P1610! I thought there must have been some sort of mistake when the Mail Guy handed me the package, as it was obviously far too light to be a laptop and included bumf. Plus, it was just

Back from Fiji. The resort and the people were lovely, the snorkeling amazing, and I'm told the diving was pretty good too. Right back to business: I need some serious retail therapy. I went away with a powerful laptop I barely used (I actually set a
