Improving my system

Maxtor OneTouch 4
Well I eventually brought an external Hard drive to back-up all my stuff. so hopefully I won't loose it. It works, well apart from the software that came with it which is pants, yes that bad, but luckily I don't need it as I have Sonic that came with computer and am using Seagate disc wizard to image the Hard drive.
With 500GB's and my Computer only having 80GB's I have ample storage space. Might even back up my daughters stuff, which doesn't amount to much as she only networks on messenger and bebo.

We needed a printer as I was fed up putting a small email on to a CD or DVD to take down to the local Mail Box shop and have it printed out, and yes I could of emailed it to them but hey that is to easy, and I wouldn't of got a fancy printer, copier and scanner then would I ?
Don't know how long the ink will last yet, but I went for the EPSON DX7450 as I hope it isn't too bad.
The Scanner is good but takes an age to make a copy, and the photo copier bit works well enough.

Unfortunately I was in such a rush to put the extra Ram in my Computer that I didn't take any photo's of the process.
It was PNY 512mb, which has made my XP usable.
It was not so easy to get the RAM in and had to retry a few times with my 5 year old son wanting to help, All it took was a little bit of gentle persuasion. I used the radiator method to earth myself so not to kill the ram with static, as have also not got a static wrist band yet.

When I am eventually brave enough to re-install windows, I shall report on it.
