Day 716

Mum came round with a new 486 laptop she's been given for work, so I could do some experiments. Such power! Very good colour too. Rewrote my dictionary program on it in QBasic, with good effect.

In return went round and mowed their lawns and clipped the edges; very peaceful and pastoral. Then came back and defragmented my own hard disc, surprised to find it was 82% unfragmented anyway after 1½ years. Considered copying MS-DOS 6.0 onto it, but felt it would consume too much memory. Defrag works regardless of DOS version anyway, luckily.
