So, my Rock power supply blew up a few weeks
ago and they have been unable to supply me with a replacement yet. They’re still out
of stock and I’m going to have to wait till next year to get another one. That’s a
full 4/5 weeks without a laptop (and that’s if they’re not lying again about the estimated
delivery date). Whatever you do, steer clear of Rock
Laptops. The spec may look good, but the support really, really sucks.
So, I’ve borrowed an iBook (G4
– 512Mb) in the meantime. I’m starting to get used to it, but on the whole doing
everything is slower on this box. I hate the fact it has a US keyboard, there’s no
right-mouse button and I can’t use apps I’ve gotten used to (Microsoft
Live Writer etc). I’ve solved the problem by using LogMeIn to
remotely access a PC on which I’m doing all my web development. Can’t wait to get
back to using a normal PC though …
