I used to hate going to Tandy because some 10 year old shop assistant always treated me like I was a moron and sold me stuff I really didn't need (but he felt I should have for whatever reason). I was glad to delegate that task to my son later in life :-)<br /><br />You sound like you are getting there in stages. I hope you can get to your documents (do you have a back-up of them somewhere?) It's always my worst fear when changing computers that I'll lose something vital.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-55570707723330534092011-05-16T23:54:17.085+09:302011-05-16T23:54:17.085+09:30PS, don't trust young people with your compute...PS, don't trust young people with your computer.

Visit to where we bought it from, collect later and it was fixed. This computer that I am using now would not stay connected to the internet when it was brand new. After a couple of to and fros (never mind that I have a life and I do have limited time) the usb cable that connected our old computer to our our cable modem was discovered to be inappropriate and I think it was replace with an ethernet cable. I don't understand really, but the ethernet cable, if that is what it is, worked. Imagine our distress at our new computer not working for the internet. Ah, that has just happened to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-32643834245535966142011-05-16T20:25:29.032+09:302011-05-16T20:25:29.032+09:30Glad you're back :) But how frustrating.
