SyncToy rocks

Well my notebook arrived at half past five last night! Yay! I’ve been playing with it since then.

I found this really useful tool called SyncToy for Windows XP. It’s part of the Microsoft PowerToys series of tools, and a free download. It lets you synchronise two folders, with resume and difference checking – kind of like rsync in the Unix world. The only thing is that this is REALLY easy to use. I’m currently using it to synchronise folders between my old desktop and new notebook. It works a treat.

Anticipation

Pretty nerdy really, but I can’t wait until I get my new notebook computer. I haven’t had a new computer since I bought my white-box pentium 3 in the first half of 2000, so this is a huge event for me. It’s a DELL Inspiron 6000. The reviews seem to be pretty good, so I hope it turns out well. It’s due on Thursday but the track and trace says its in the country already! Hopefully it comes earlier.
