(coming in a bit late here) well done you for getting a new laptop so efficiently and just in the nick of time before going back to work (yuck). apart from the things that niggle, I hope that having the same brand again means it feels familiar in some ways. What do you mean by 'long'? Larger screen?

And wow! 'Sherlock'! I didn't watch S1 but for some reason N decided to watch t'other night, and we all loved it. Granted I'm the only one in the household squeeing over Benedict C as SH, but it's so great in so many ways.
Now I must see S1. It's a little disappointing to discover 'Sherlock' just as they introduce the female love interest (gack). Like moonlightmead I was struck by Watson's 'I'm not gay' as maybe addressing the slash fandom, but it was in a particular context. I'm sure (unless I misheard) that Ms Adler replied, 'But I am.' (but in that case, why was she all pupils dilating etc. over Sherlock?).
