Day No. (.. I've lost count ...)

Enter STage Left: staggering, screaming in delight .. falls in a panting heap on shoulder of nearest 'Catter .(Sorry, guess that's Sussex Carole?)

The bloody thing (N-Case/ Inetlitlial 180 whatever/ PAD Search assistant) has gone... after reformatting the drive - sticking on extra memory - upgrading to WIN98 (overdue anyway) .. reloading everything .. 12 hours on the phone to every AOL agent in the Northern hemisphere (dug through the bag of junk CDs - useful as birdscarers in the veg patch) to load on a further version of AOL ... but not for long .. need a BT (British Telecom line to get anything else :(

Mucho thanks for support and goodwill (jumps up and down with barely contained relief) - just one huge festival deadline looming - tech meeting in 2 hours, several bands minus publicity for other gigs :(, hundreds of newsletter fans making grumbling sounds, BBC: .. delayed for a week thank heavens..

Ker-ist .... what a saga .. and farty-boy still farting ..
Still - it's a Bank Holiday and the sun's shining!
