I have a new computer! Roland convinced me that I needed to get a new computer as I have been using our 5 year old iMac and I've been increasingly frustrated by how slow it is. And eventually I'd need a computer for my business anyway. So we went down to the store, handed over my credit card and tried not to think too much about how much it was going to cost me.

I ended up getting an iBook G4 and it is lightyears faster than the old iMac. Amazing how quickly technology changes. In my low-tech world, nothing really changes that much in 5 years...the answering machine still records, my kitchen knives and mixer are still in style, the fridge still runs, TV still works, car still operates...

I just hope my computer isn't "so yesterday" by Christmas!
