I made a phone call to the USA this evening. The upshot of that phone call is that in early January, with the help of
jena, I will be taking delivery of an
XO.

I took advantage of their
Give One Get One offer, buying 2 laptops in total. One of those laptops will be going to a child in a developing country, and the other will be coming here (via New Hampshire) for me to get my sticky mitts on it. Then, once I’m bored with it, Amy can have it to test out how rugged it actually is!!
Very many thanks to
jena for helping out, and a special mention to the birthday girl,
almsthvn - still love ya! :o)
