Shiny new laptop or really expensive kitty bum warmer?

You decide

PS - Six Music are playing House of Love! I could get used to this digital radio lark.

Awww, Tabs looks really well. All shiny of coat.

It took several months, but he finally became reconciled to the whole grooming process.

Wicket still isn't big with the brushing, especially not round the tummy area. I bear the scars.

[inulro.livejournal.com]

We've largely given up on the tummy area. But he's fine with the rest now.

I'm a firm believer in multi-purpose technology.

Long haired cats and laptop rock the house. Don't forget to delete Norton AntiVirus now!

These apps give good free protection:

The following are not essential but are strongly reccomended:

mozilla - it's not Internet Explorer therefore it's more secure:
http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-2.0.0.9&os=win&lang=en-GB


anti-spyware programs - especially reccomended if you plan on using Internet Explorer a lot:

(these don't really update automatically though, so don't forget to down the updates after installation)

Oh, and has Vista driven you absolutely around the bend yet?

[inulro.livejournal.com]

Vista? What makes you think I'm running windows?

[badnewswade.livejournal.com]

Oh nothing, it's just statistically more likely that someone would be using it ... or something.

GFY for being rid of Uncle Bill's crap software though - I use too many gamez and multimedias right now...

Definitely a kitty bum-warmer.
