And so farewell Toshiba laptop. The migration to the new HP computer is complete. Nothing lost, everything moved over reasonably successfully and basically with little to no hassle. Even managed to remove most of the Bloatware/Crap HP insists on pre-loading computers with though I'm still working out how to uninstall a particularly unpleasant bit of crap called WizLink. But by and large the new computer is sheer delight.

The Toshiba laptop was gone from my desk when I woke up this morning. Alan took it to work with him having offered it to his company sys admin in a deal. The sys admin will take the laptop apart and retrieve the data stick stuck in it and then the laptop is his. I can then return the data stick to its owner and he can then reformat the laptop with Linux. He doesn't care about its laundry list of problems so it works out for us both.
