    I know this might seem like a excuse ... but it's my computer that's the "tortoise". Honestly! Dead slow and stop, it is ... which is WHY I've [reluctantly] been limiting my responses lately.

    ... I SHOULD say, curtailing my replies to 'one-liners' - whenever possible - rather than experience the sheer frustration of the content disappearing midway through typing a lengthy screed!

    Arthur, type your answer in MS Word, and set it to save every minute, that's what I do with any replies more than a line. If you don't have MS Word, download OpenOffice.... it's free

    you mean it's possible to do responses that contain more than one line? Maybe I should try it!

    Y'know, Stevie ... that's another great thing about belonging to a site like ours. Here, members have the chance to share all sorts of useful information on a seemingly endless variety of topics.

    I'd been thinking of going into PC World [where I bought this Windows Vista just over 2 years ago] to arrange for the 'Tech Guys' to pay us a visit ... but kept putting off at the slightest sign that *performance was picking up. Even if *it DOES improve, it may well be worthwhile dropping by anyway to have a decko at what's on offer!

    Yep ... Curry's have a large branch within the same Retail Park as PC World, so it's another option worth considering!

    Never buy a laptop from the High Street they are all out of date or over-priced compared to online. Dell or Ebuyer.

    Aye ... someone on here (can't remember who!) was extolling the virtues of Windows 7 only this morning. So it would be a good opportunity for you to go along and have a look yourself.

If there`s one near you Arthur ask for a preview card and go and have a look around their warehouse, my wife thinks their meat is better then Waitrose. Be warned though, if your wife claps eyes on the place your house will start to fill up with bulk buys.
    We bought a Sony laptop thats been brilliant
