Well, Neil, it went to a good home, my daughters laptop gave up the ghost and I mainly use my desktop(don't laugh - I really do prefer it to a laptop).

Technology moves on all the time(I don't need to tell you this - I'm sure you know that as soon as you leave the shop your bit of kit that you have handed over good money for, is already.....not quite obsolete, but there is certainly something better).
I used to think I was a technophobe, but I have realised that no matter how old you are....you can learn almost anything...all it needs is the desire to learn...this old dog, new tricks, thing is rubbish...it just takes us old 'uns a bit longer.
