    Maybe I read it wrong, but that sounds like some kind of sarcasm directed at ShamrockDave.

    This is a genuine request for information about buying a laptop in the Philippines, so can we please stick to the subject at hand.

    Better buy them a PC not a Laptop as laptop is hard to repair in the Philippines. I usually buy at Enigma Sta. Rosa Laguna Branch where I can choose parts and their staffs will assemble infront of you. They have many branches in Philippines.

    It meant I was apologising in advance if the thought about connectivity had already been covered by you.

    The full expression is ""Don't try to teach your grandmother to suck eggs"

    You did read it wrong and jumped to conclusions from my own experience of skype it seemed a valid point to add since it was the ability to communicate at will that was the objective!!

    Then you didn't make it clear since you had to explain it to us.

    A parallel universe perhaps

    "To offer needless assistance; to waste one's efforts upon futile matters; especially, to offer advice to an expert."

    Is the crux of it

    No idea what you want an apology for, it was a misunderstanding of definition.

    Walesrob didn't think so!

    I have been on this forum since 2006 and never had a single problem with anyone, until this **** has to add his pennys worth, instead of just answering the question asked.

    That's because Rob misread it as well, the same as many have just misread your other thread....I for one, do I get an apology?

    Shamrockdave, I understood KeithAngel's comment without a problem.
    Don't get angry if you don't understand someone's answer.
    Ask them if you're not sure.
    He wasn't calling you a grandmother, he shortened a well known phrase and he was trying to help you and you didn't realise it

    Got to agree with Aposhark, there was a genuine attempt to help by pointing out that there is more than just the computer to consider and also took the opportunity to apologise in advance if you were already aware of the connectivity issue. Cannot see why you are upset Shamrockdave?
    Live your life for a reason and don't worry be happy

    if you don't know where you are going then any road will do!!

    Well check out what our Mr WIN2WIN has done to my rep.

    All i did was ask a simple question - what do i get, someone English smartass. then his welsh buddy supports him.

    Nothing ever changes does it

    I agree about the grandmother sucking eggs thing, a misunderstanding BUT Win2Win is owed an apology for comments in your other thread SD.

    Ps. is there a T missing your initials. joking, I know you can take a joke.

    I got Keith angels post and was making a valid point skype with voice chat will not be of a very decent quality if the connection is not very good, also depends on the amount of data allowed on package or cost per meg. Also some providers will block or at least restrict the ports which allow voip and p 2 p programs like skype to work.

    What an idiot. Mydelf & Rob stood up for him with the first misunderstanding, Keith explained it, and muppet Dave continued to act like a spoilt kid.

    Smile

    What a shame that happened. I understood Keith's response as being a well used idiom.
    Clearly a very strong misunderstanding on Dave's part - and clearly an over-reaction.

    That's my two cents anyway - or is it 10 cents?- or three pennyworth? - or 456,734 Vietnamese Dongs worth?
