Somewhat Useless?The BBC has now got a "Computer Tutorial". However it's online on the BBC website, so presumably you've had to work out how to connect to the internet and navigate to bbc.co.uk before you can do it. By then, things like moving the mouse and pressing the letter 'n' aren't so much of a problem. Pretty much like a book on how to learn Chinese, written entirely in Chinese.
In other news: Exams all went ok so far. Only 1 more to go next Tuesday.

Money & HappinessPeople spend an amazing amount of money on food & drink which is bad for them (Particularly at Christmas). Alcohol, chocolate, cakes etc. This makes them happy for a short time (while they consume it).
People then spend money on the gym, or on special low-fat diet food (usually just after Christmas). They'd prefer to be eating normal food, and they're upset because they spent so much money on fatty food, then on diet food, so their happiness will be slightly lower than normal.
So overall by the end of February:
money + happiness + money - happiness = 2x money + 0 happiness.
I suggest that we abolish Christmas, and that everyone gives me their money, and just does 'normal' things which don't make them happy or unhappy.
Everyone else doesn't notice a difference: by the end of February they're still down some money and in a neutral mood.
I get lots of money.
Everybody wins!

$0.002 = 0.002cents20 minutes of very bad maths.
The problem isn't really bad customer service- the problem is that the reps don't understand fairly basic maths. You'd think one out of all the people he's talked to would know what was going on.

MA1 Finished Forever!...Well, the lectures are over anyway. Just problems classes and revision left now. And I guess I still have to know the stuff for next semester. And there's an exam in January... and a couple of problems sheets... but apart from that, MA1 is finished.
I go home in a week and a half. That should be good! Except I have to go to work again, and revise. Oh well.
