Computing

I seem to be wasting an inordinate amount of time computing at the moment. I thought buying a new computer would make my life simpler, but unfortunately it hasn't. As usual, I've entered the great operating system game, where you try and make the computer work and it uses every possible tactic to prevent you. For some reason, four separate Linux distributions fail to recognise my CD drive, despite the computer having just booted off it. So I can't make them install.

I've ordered the Windows Vista RC1 DVD, which will hopefully turn up sooner rather than later. If I'm lucky, that might even work...
