In and running, after sterling work from [livejournal.com profile] perlmonger. for which many many thanks :) And about four frustrating hours waiting for it to transfer many Gb of data ... My 250Gb internal drive has been transferred, and the 4Gb of RAM fitted.

It finally arrived at 2:35 yesterday afternoon, by which time I was sunk deep in gloom and sure that we wouldn't see it. Typically, it was the last item on the chap's delivery list ...

Some problems with data transfer - my (fairly old) Macromedia Studio got its knickers in a twist, and given I use Dreamweaver all day, that was a bit worrying, but I've beaten it into submission now. One or two other things are slightly skewed, but I am keeping the old external drive as is for a while, and moving to a 1Tb for Time Machine, etc.

It is *spectacularly* quick, and I'm about to install Fusion and Parallels on it to give it some real work to do. I hate the Mighty Mouse (which won't right click for me), and I'm trying the little tiny keyboard because the regained desk space is quite attractive, but I suspect I'll be back to the Matias soon ...

So this afternoon I shall wipe the old Weatherwax (who has served me very well for 2.5 years, and is now going to a new home with [livejournal.com profile] agc.

FWIW I've never had a problem RC with the Mighty.

Gummy Mouse Balls can be cured by spraying isopropyl into the ball, rolling it round, then drying it off with a lint free. Blast it with canned air to dry it out and blow off any lint.
