Yippee! I’ve spent some of my money from translation on a new mini-laptop. I’m not sure it’s big enough to be allowed out on its own at 25 x16x3 cm / 10″x6″x1″ It’s small enough to fit in a big handbag (a purse on the other side of the pond). It’ll take me a while to get used to it, but I’m hoping it’ll boost my productivity. Certainly it’ll be going with me to the UK next week.
I’ll be spending time installing stuff, especially since it’s a flavour of Linux I haven’t come across before. But for 85€ cheaper, and more reliable software, I don’t mind piddling about a bit, looking for extensions to open office and GIMP.
I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship.
