- [long discussion brutally removed]
-
- Several people have pointed out with varying degrees of
- polite exasperation that I don't do this. My arse-over-tip
- news setup doesn't support it. Short of typing the
- references in by hand it's impossible.
-
- However. To rectify this situation, if all goes well, I am
- getting a new computer, a new modem, new news software and,
- shortly, a new news feed. The whole caboodle will cost me
- about two thousand pounds. I *hope* you're satisfied.
-
- Oh, and it should cope with MS Word, too. And Simearth.
-
- In fact, that computer and its bits will be the most
- expensive thing I own, apart from the flat and the car.
- I'm surprised to feel quite guilty about such a massive
- expenditure. It seems almost obscene to spend so much
- money just on something for fun.
-
- I guess I'm quite a Puritan after all...
