What an evening of joy that's been! It started when my beloved GeForce 6600 GT complained about using too much power (which it never did before), but I fixed that by swapping things around a bit. Then I upgraded to AVG 8, which was a whole barrel of laughs. Hello ultra-slow start-up times, excessive memory use, and a fairly graphics-heavy user interface that takes positively ages to load. So after years of being loyal to AVG I'm ditching it; the new version is just not worth it - all I want is a lightweight AV program that's effective at stopping nasties, not some ghastly bloatware Norton 360 clone. To top it all, my idea for caustics in MHQuake didn't work out quite as well as I'd hoped (fortunately I have another).
On the plus side, Windows XP Service Pack 3 is so far rather nice. It actually gives a fairly hefty speed-up!
