I am off line, computer broke down :-(, for a couple of weeks. So I will be checking mail/post only from time to time and won't be joining in in many discussions. Have fun!

I know what this feels like, so I run two operating systems on one computer.
Mmmm, no captain at the helm, will the crew respond?
Don't worry, Pete and I are still online!
We're sorting a new PC for ma and pa but it's a matter of finding a day when we're able to make the trip to theirs to set it all up and get it sorted!
no, when booting, I have the option of one or the other (or other things too!). Its so that if (when!!!!!!) XP Pro goes down, I still have access.
Im not a 'computer person', but admit to studying digital electronics at Cambridge Uni. in the 80's (1980's) but having grown up with microprocessors, and the whole Intel pathway (from the 8 bit 8085), and having owned a couple RISC based computers, I have to conclude that the PC type computer really is a pile of rubbish. My RISC-based ones of 20 years ago are still better than current PC's. Operating system in ROM, NO VIRUSES!!!
Pete came a bought a new Lap top for my husband, so I have acces to it:-). But I am stillnoit able to do any work on the site,because allmy folders are on the main one, which will be replaced in about a month. Iam still getting used to typing on a lap top key-board.
