New computer works with intarwebs. Huzzah! Had to do all manner of rebooting cable box and PC in different orders, then turning on internet explorer and entering magic NTL password into form that appears. (This threw me for a while as the crazy Microsoft page that IE has set as default homepage does not trigger the NTL confirmation page but a 404 Not Found instead, so I didn't realise what was happening until I tried to go to google directly.)

New PC is crazy shiny and plays all the latest games (on loan from

pkgem and Paul). Tomorrow's mission is to not forget to get all my Favourites and email profiles and such over from the old box. I am such a fool, I had the old HD in the new machine today and kept telling myself not to forget but then did so anyway. Oh well, I have tried to remember the ones

bacony requires but I'm sure there are some missing. She will just have to do.

Also I have to buy a new keyboard, as this one is ancient and has a chunky plug that needs an adaptor to fit in a modern machine (that I have stolen from

bacony's machine, hopefully I will have a replacement before she demands it back, which seems likely as she only rarely uses her PC).

Oh, and there doesn't seem to be any way to remove Windows Messenger, not even in "Add/Remove Progams -> Windows Components" where it used to be. Curiouser and curiouser. So I have installed the superior MSN Messenger on top of it.

I leave now to crash the Monday Night Meal. I will leave Windows Update running. Hee hee hee.
