In one word; Apple.
Dagnamit! I don't know what it is about Apple that encapsulates me, wraps me up in wonder, and then spits me out with a hole in my wallet and a smile on my face. Hrumph.
To replace this falling apart, painfully slow Toshiba (it's done me well to be fair, but just can't handle the RAW files etc of my photography, let alone more than one program at a time), my lovely parents sent me out the MacMini I was using before I left the UK. I love this freakin machine, and if you don't know what they are - check them out. Awesome piece of design & everything you could want!
I couldn't stop at that - and realising that I spend half my time away from my home and therefore desktop computer, I decided that I really needed a friend for my MacMini. Thankfully I didn't splurge on a new MacBook or anything so extravagant - I picked up a pretty fair deal on TradeMe (NZ's version of eBay) so I now have an iBook G4 to play with too! Hurrah.
Only problem is, that's a little excessive really isn't it - 3 computers all to myself. Ah well. Once my PC is sucked dry of all my files and folders that I need, I shall simply gift the Toshiba to a very nice young lady who is in need of a computer that works.
