Good Friday The 6th!

Last weekend I ordered a new computer. Today I arranged to have it sent back!

Bloody seller described it as a "tower" and when it arrived it was a "base unit". I'm planning to put it in place of an existing tower and move the old tower to my cinema, so that I can plug it into the TV projector and watch Amazon TV on the big screen. A base unit simply won't fit where the old tower currently resides, and I refuse to re-arrange my office just because a salesman lied!

Probably would but I need a new computer anyway. Currently I the most powerful I own is only good enough to edit websites and do still picture editing - the biggest strain I ever put on it is Gimp. I need a more powerful one to edit films and add special effects if I intend to "jump professions" into the movie world. So I'll have a spare computer when the new one arrives.

Plus I only have DVD player not Blu-Ray, and the cheapest, easiest option to upgrade is to get a Blu-Ray drive for the computer (I already have the software - it came bundled with the DVD software I use), and if the computer is already hooked up to the projector I'll just have to slide the Blu-Ray drive in and I'll be good to project Blu-Ray films on my big screen.
