It's Arrived

At approximately 10:45 this morning, the nice man from CityLink arrived with two boxes. By 11:55 I had the new PC booting into it's BIOS screen. I briefly installed XP onto it, just to be able to check that all the hardware was functioning (With Vista loaded, it may have been a driver incompatibility issue) - and everything seems to be fine.

I now need to lay my hands back on the Vista DVD, and find about 15 spare hours to install the new OS and all the required applications, move the 2nd HDD from the old PC to the new one, and finish tweaking it.

Once all that is done, I can get a new monitor and keyboard for Amy's use, and wipe/reload the old PC with a nice clean install of XP ready for her to take ownership. At that point, Alex has been promised use of the laptop when required.
