As a fellow developer I can't think of anything worse that does not involve someone dying. Don't forget to turn off automatic update on your new computer, or you might never get to the end of the calculation (it seems to reboot your PC terminating all processes if Microsoft determine an update important enough). Of course, you should get your answer a lot quicker this time if you run it on your new old laptop, as I should imagine it is at least twice as fast. Would love to know the answer, btw. Hope it's not a circular reference... Gutted!
