My son and grandson turned up yesterday whilst I was firing up the boiler for my steam operated, belt driven computer.It is about time that you got shut of this and updated it; I can get you a brand new all singing all dancing set up for less than £500 my lad said;
I almost (ALMOST) agreed, until I found out that was purely for the hardware. When I questioned about "Windows Office Word",Google Earth, Etc, Oh that is a whole new ball game he said, they will cost over and above the £500. at this my Luddite skills kicked in (ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE), I gasped. By Eck I came very close to abandoning my ultra Luddite principles.
