Update: yesterday we installed my new PC
Today I have been tagging and sorting all the wires etc and getting the place organised. I got a new printer too. Everything installed seamlessly. I still have to download and set up all the Audacity, Reaper Tascam etc stuff but that shouldn't be a problem.
Meanwhile, I haven't got the Mac yet, the couriers never seem to be as fast as they promise. I haven't played the guitar for days, but now I feel as if I've had a complete refit!!! Yes, me personally!
Thanks for all your help everyone (I love a happy ending!)
