What did you buy today?

Work sharp Field Sharpener 2.2.1 - looks a lot smaller in real life than it does online - I was shocked at first. But a nice bit of kit all the same and gets the job done!

A new laptop as my current one is playing up and freezing as often as a penguins bum. I've got 6 weeks in which to finish a rather daunting essay (did I mention that I'm now 3 weeks into the 6 weeks?) Decided it was worth getting a new one to save me the stress, frustration and risk of punching the screen. The old one will go to the computer shop for a tune up then passed onto my kids.

Went for a Lenovo 10.1" Flex...nice little notebook style but still trying to get used to Windows 8.1. Nice little bargain at £199 bit had to stump up for a new version of MS office (that only lasts a year).

My main problem is it's a touchscreen type so I'll inevitably end up trying to 'swipe' screens at work and be confused as to why they don't co-operate. Pretty soon I'll be the guy I used to chuckle at years ago who used to pick up his mouse and speak into it thinking it was some kind of microphone...

Have you thought about shareware like Libre Office? Free, does what MS office does and is all round pretty handy. Works on my new Windows 8 machine fine and I wouldn't go back to MS office now. It will open and work with MS office documents both ways too in case to wonder.

Sent from a Kindled Fire in a wood somewhere.

After a night of mixing the grain with the grape not even Bacchus could fill in the blanks for you.
