Cool, works reeaaaaaaaaaallllly nicely too

This may be cos i am using the Uni's superfast broadband but still

[ambersalamander]

Hah, my university's is rubbish and slow.

[medibot]

To be honest the internet is about the only non rubbish and slow thing at Sussex.

[ambersalamander]

yeah, I kind of miss the Sussex computer systems! Actually no, I REALLY miss them. When you're in the same department as all the computer scientists you kind of start to build your entire social life around them!

[davetscfc]

Nice one. Come on you Rebels.

It's all whizz bang Windows XP now, probably completely different to your day. There is still only one A3 printer in the entire uni though, useless for design portfolios

XP?
Ooh, Ducky, that's so last year....

Get ready for a new Vista on life.....

[medibot]

lol, it's very Sussex to upgrade months before the new thing everybody else will be using comes out...

And of course IT Services buy a 100 or so new pc's and don't upgrade the printing facilities so most days i may as well be using a typewriter.

[ambersalamander]

They had 3 A3 printers when I was there.

I have issues with my current place of study though cos I spend two quid on photocopy today and still didn't get what I wanted.

However they have provided me with an EXCELLENT online diary resource for free which I am madly in love with

Ask martello

[medibot]

Martello, why is Sal in love with a diary?

Also, how are you dealing with the jealousy?

Meh, I suppose I could make her jealous by running off with a Billingham Synthonia-supporting giraffe or something... ;D
