I can't give an exact date until later (doing diaries this evening) but either Friday this week or early next?

Ooh, sounds promising. Can you *do stuff* while I go 'lalalala' and hide? I'm sure we can find a mutually convenient time (unless reddragdiva does it before you).

No problem. You start it up, answer a few questions (about five - language, keyboard, where are you, what's your name and what's your password), and then leave it for about ten to twenty minutes while it chats to itself.

Friday is doable - "daytime".

Sorry about the delay in replying, there has been *stuff*.

I am busy from 3.15pm-4.45pm, free the rest of the day otherwise. Evening is tricky. If you're busy now/don't get this email in time, no worries.

Hmmm, there are other things I need to do (deal with a slowly draining sink, for example), so it's probably better to have everything ready for say Wednesday. I've just tried the 'install it from USB stick method' on one here and it didn't work, so it's probably CD time.

What do I need to bring? The install CD? CD drive?

Do you have backups of anything you want to retain on the Eee?

Hope the stuff was good...

Some stuff has been good at least!

I need the use of a CD drive and an install CD.

I haven't got much on the Eee, I think I can move it somehow, probably store it all online. Pictures and stuff are all on my camera.

On Wednesday I am busy from 2.30pm right through till the mid-late evening. I'm free late Thursday afternoon and all evening, free Friday morning and early afternoon. I can pop over to yours/somewhere else suitable if that'd be more convenient.

Coming here on the Friday would probably be easiest for me. The sink might be working by then too :/

Ok, cool. Morning-early afternoon or evening?

The former - I'm here from 11am until 5pm.
