Getting to grips........

While I was at work, I was thinking about what I would put in this, my first "proper" post. Never mind the fact that I was supposed to be working, (still can't grasp that concept....) as always, my mind was elsewhere. You see, I have the brain (and memory) of a goldfish.

Where was I? Ah yes. The content of my first posting. People say that first impressions count, so I wanted to make it a good 'un and thought that maybe I would paste in an article that I wrote for a magazine. Here is where things start to go awry.....

All my work to date was saved on my iMac. My OLD iMac. My old DEAD iMac............ Yes, you've got the gist - I hadn't backed up my stuff before the poor computer drew its last wheezing breath and clattered off to the local tip.

So let this be a salutory lesson to one and all, to BACK UP ! *shakes head*

The new 'pooter is a dream - for the first time in my computing life, I treated myself to a BRAND NEW Apple Mac Mini, which is just SO cute! It's tiny! So tiny that I often mistake it for my sandwich box on my desk. I can forsee problems extricating my cheese roll later on........

Have already edited my template, as it looked too old-fashioned, and have selected this one to test-drive for a while. If it looks too boring, I'll try another until I meet my perfect match. Have also just read back what I've written here, and so far, for a first impression, I'm doing.................really badly! Am talking to myself, flitting about all over the place subject-wise, and still have no idea what I'm going to write! Oh well - things can only get better.....................
