Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
New computer just arrived - downloading COD Black Ops 2 from Steam at 6.4MB/s, and copying my iTunes backup on the portable hard drive to the new 2TB second drive at 38.9MB/s on the USB3.0 port.
I feel the need, the need for speed.....

My mother in law arrived safely in the UK - we all went out (with my dad too) last night for dinner, and decided that every time she visits she brings the snow
