Methinks my IPS has made a mistake

I've had a regrade of the broadband service I use. I was previously on 576,000bps and was told the new service would be twice this speed but for the same monthly fee. Well, I'm now on 2,272,000bps and according to the e-mail I got from them I'll still be paying the same price. I won't tell them if you don't.

I don't really notice much of a difference when surfing the web but my e-mails download in a blast and my porn, ehm, I mean music files, download in a blast.

Still having trouble breathing. Coughing and spluttering like an old man that smokes 40 cigarettes a day. I really will need to face away from the monitor when coughing.

My gas bill has come in and they owe me £5.44...but the buggers will just carry it forward to the next account. What else exciting has happened to me today......................................nah - can't think of anything. I found the leaflet that came with my first computer.

Compaq Presario 433
Intel 486sx/33 Processor
4MB RAM
200MB Hard Disk Drive
Integrated SVGA 14" colour monitor

Software installed
MS-Dos 6
Microsoft Windows 3.1 (at least it never crashed on me once unlike "Fucking Windows 98" which crashes at least once a day)

Still got that computer. I think it cost £1100. The black and white printer I bought cost £320. Nowadays you can buy a scanner/photocopier/fax machine/colour printer for under £50.
