Computer has suddenly decided to stop printing PDFs either from a browser
or from the stand-alone Adobe Reader. Cannot find a fix online. Have tried
to get the latest Reader updates, but no joy. Grrrrraaaagh.

Two guys from IS came by yesterday and said "We've called a couple of
times about replacing your computer." I said "No you haven't." Look, I
would have noticed, OK? But they have emailed about upgrading all
us Win2k peons to XP, and I guess they're finally getting around to it --
apparently I get a new box as well, which is good, as mine is ancient and
I'm at least the third user on it. I have done everything they asked me to
do in the way of backing up and letting them know what software I need, so
here's hoping it all goes smoothly. (Ha. Who am I kidding? I confidently
expect to be able to get nothing done for about a week.)

Which is to say, spending an hour and a half wrestling with software I'm
only going to be able to use for another hour and a half is probably not a
productive use of my time. Frustrating as all hell, though.
