Diane's been in town unexpectedly this week, so tonight we headed into town for an almost ad-hoc get-together at Manchester's renowned No.1 Oriental Buffet. Or at least it was renowned last time I looked (2-3 years ago maybe). On this particular occasion, although the company was as usual excellent, the meal was a little under par. A bit predictable in choices and some of it not as hot as it could be. Maybe that's what gave me a gippy tummy the next day. Anyway fun was had, drink was quaffed and faces were stuffed.
Then later Annie came back with us and we sat for an hour or two speccing up a replacement for the deceased beased. The death of the old war horse was distinctly to be treated as an opportunity to be grasped, rather than a tragedy to be mourned. Truth be told there had been more grinding of teeth, muttering and swearing in its general direction in recent months (years) than praise and soft words. Slow, error-prone, noisy, slow, many of its application exhibiting less than normal behaviour, and slow.
So one requirement for its replacement stood out from the crowd: Not Slow.
I think an Intel Core i5 and 8GB of memory should be fast enough :o)

Lovely to see you again. Perhaps next time we should try that Deansgate restaurant, Red Hot World Buffet. I think the "Red Hot" may not necessarily refer to temperature but there was a very wide variety of ethnic types of foods and a great dessert buffet. A bit more expensive than No. 1 in the evenings but still under 20 per person plus drinks.
That sounds like a plan :o) Don't really fancy going back to No.1 in a hurry.
