The everlasting story of my computer

triskellianTwo different software men have each spent a morning examining my computer, and the conclusion seems to be that there's nothing wrong with it.
Yesterday afternoon, a hardware man came and took it away to open it up and examine its innards. I've just spoken to him, and his conclusion so far is that there's nothing wrong with it. He's going to give it to the guy who's got overall responsibility for the computers in my department, and he scoffs at the thought that someone told me I'd have it back in a day.
In its absence, I have an ancient Mac with an internet connection, but no network connection and no software, or my laptop which does have software but doesn't have a network connection, or an internet one unless I want to use dialup. So I've been working at home today, where between my laptop Mac and my desktop PC I have all the software I need, a decent internet connection, and the coolness of switching between two desks while choosing to listen to music because I'm not doing word-related work today, and it being music that I like.
Oh, and there's also the thing that my house is much less hot and stuffy than my office, the chairs are comfier, I don't have to wear shoes or listen to other people's phone conversations, and the commute's a breeze ;-)
So I'm doing it again tomorrow.
