Unfortunately the hard-drive in my machine failed and I have been waiting over two weeks for a replacement (not sure if it is the university or MicroDirect being useless). Normally I would buy one and claim it back and the problem would be solved within an hour, but the new university austerity measures forbid this. Instead, I have moved onto Christian&#8217;s desk and am experiencing his two wide-screen monitor setup. It feels a bit weird having pages which are very wide, but not very tall.
