A little more about the computer...

Yesterday, I noticed that the oldest of my two computers was getting a bit sluggish during the starting up cycle, and didn't seem too healthy. I also have been thinking of a backup for both of them.

So I went to the nearby London Drugs, for a chat with the experts about that, and came home with an external hard-drive made by Seagate, 500 GB, which plugs into a power source and into a USB port. It can do automatic once-a-day backups, or you can do them manually whenever you wish. You can also use it on more than one computer. This model isn't the one that is advertised as portable, but the price is cheaper than those, and it's almost the same size anyway - so you could take it with you if you wished. It has its own built-in programs and doesn't need a setup disc to get started.
