Okay, okay, so I decide to post a cheeky little soliloquy on how you may have missed me for lack of posting on this very site.

Well, the powers-that-be of electronic goods chose to smite my laptop shortly after that sardonic attack on people who apologise for being absent from their sites for extended periods.  

I've learn't my lesson. Thankfully Dell helped me out a lot. Kudos to them for a great website and service.
