    New computer - what a hastle!

    My PC packed up last week so had to get a new one. Even though I could copy from the old hard disc it was a F* hastle! All the reinstalling, F* MS Office especially had all sorts of problems. What would we do without the internet?

    Anyway, almost all back to normal now but it occurs to me. While I have re-installed all the things I use and arranged my desktop to contain all the shortcuts/links I need, how should I be arrange it to give me positive karma?

    Any Feng Shui IT experts on CUK?

    Or just arrange them for an uninterrupted (NSFW) view of your preferred desktop wallpaper.

        Arrange your laptop so that when the lid is open, the Apple logo is facing away from you, and the Time Machine disk is off to one side. Then you won't have these problems any more.

          When I replaced my old PC I created a VirtualBox VM and copied that to the new PC while I gradually got everything installed and configured. It made the painful transition much easier.
