Hi Ho, Hi Ho

There are not many working days that can beat payday but yesterday was one of them. Spent the morning selecting the specification for a new company workstation for myself as the current one is nearly four years old and creaking at the seams. Working to a budget, and using the Company's corporate discount, Dell have done me proud. Got the confirmation e-mail this afternoon from UK IT purchasing that it’s been ordered, oh yes.

Dual Xeon 3.0Ghz (800MHz FSB/1Mb cache)
2GB DDR400 Memory
2x36GB SCSI Hard Drives
128MB PCI-E Quadro4 FX1400 Graphics Card
DVD+/-RW
17" TFT, I'll keep the Sony FW900 24" Widescreen CRT and use the TFT as a secondary display for e-mail and stuff while the main screen is for CAD/FEA etc.
plus the usual bells and whistles

All that's left is to talk the boss into stumping up for the Spaceball 5000 and I'll be happy for a few months. Sad I know but it's the little things that make you feel appreciated..
