I think it's the same mentality that I had when I was a mechanic. All my customers cars were kept in tip top condition yet my car was falling to bits. A friend of mine is a great builder, yet his own house is in terrible condition. We are so focused on making a living that we forget that our tools and possessions are an important part of that process. As to you paying £915 for your computer, I paid £1400 for a top computer 7 years ago. That computer lasted about 2 years before it became obsolete :sad: Technology is moving at such a pace that old foggies like me just can't keep up. Ken.

I'd normally go cheap, but as this is what I work on all day I thought this would be a good option. Hi Hugh - the screen I work on now is that size. I work on the laptop with a comfy keyboard plugged in, but this makes the screen too far away so I'm looking forward to the new setup. It's delivered tomorrow...I can't wait!

I've been thinking of a way of saying thanks to my best customers, but I was thinking about sending a handwritten note rather than a new PC! Hi Blogzilla - yeah it's fast isn't it? I've just checked with Dell and have been told it's in transit so I'm excited. :) Hi Randy - it's from Dell and it cost....(close your ears) a whopping £915. I know it's a lot, but I have a feeling I'll get my money's worth! I'll post a pic the second this bad boy arrives - after a few months of crash, creash, crash, I'm really looking forward to it!

How much ?

I’ll be getting one myself when the end of the month cb cheques have cleared… so any advice and pointers would be appreciated.

Being non-techy – I’d end up with a dinosaur…

Can you or a reader give an idea of minimum specs we should be asking for these days?

Getting a new PC wasn't a question of funds, more a question of just getting organised enough to do it. I'm pretty rubbish at getting out there and doing the simple things that will make me more productive, and this is something I need to work on. I'm on a major productivity drive though, and when I get the new PC I'll force myself to invest the time to install all the gadgets that will speed up my working day. That's the plan anyway!
