This new look for grandpa's desk should surprize nobody. But the explanation is simple: my HP died some months ago and was shipped back to the US for R&R - the DELL laptop I have been using for my work here died suddenly last Friday and the estimate for getting it repaired was longer than I could stand - we have been considering a purchase of a laptop for me here so that I have a back up if the other one goes down, or is needed by someone else. So I am now the proud owner of a brand new DELL Inspiron M501R, complete with a 10 key built into the keypad, but with only a 15" screen. That 17" HP was just a monster, but I love my 10 key. Oh yes, and the DELL repairman came today so I got that one back too.
