Well not much time for blogging lately with all the house maintenance going on but I did manage to squeeze in a couple of computer upgrades (yay!). Me and t’other half had matching 12″ laptops. We’ve already got two 17″ Dell ones but wanted something more portable as well for carrying around. So we got two packard bell BG45 U300 laptops. We did look at netbooks but found the keyboards were too small so went for these instead.

And I have to say they have been brilliant so far. Very well built but the only thing letting them down was RAM (they only had 1GB) so over the weekend I upgraded them both to 3GB and the difference it has made is unreal! I’m thinking about possibly upgrading the 80GB hard drive to a 120GB solid state drive to make it even faster. It would work out much cheaper than buying a superfast ultraportable and to be honest i’m really attached to this little PB. Watch this space ….

My first attempt at growing pumpkins. Thought they would brighten up the garden during autumn. Tis growing very fast! Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device
