yeah, $5k is not coming up any time soon. And from where I sit, I can easily see AUS unofficial unemployment rate hitting 20% faster than normal. So being very mindful of what I spend on.

I know my rig is old but BoHiCa work has lasted me well and all I have done is added a 250GB ssd, to my i5 setup. My old VGA is a GT640 so I want to make a good jump, and then maybe 6months time, jump the mainboard cpu and ram.

Well Video card turned up yesterday morning, and was I hyped and sadly pissed off at the same time......

because(First World Problems);
- I have decommissioned my work office as I have planned for the floor to be tiled, So my PC and desk and junk is all out in temp storage. Carpet ripped up and tiles all ready................

- ....................and a tiler stuck in Bali struggling to get home. Crap timing. No ETA now on when work is being done

- the internet is capped out again. 100GB downloaded in 8 days, thanks to kids, wife and a friend going crazy.

- working on an island :( Some days its nice working mainland and wandering home for lunch to see whats going on and having a short game. :D

Oh well 12 more days to go.
