Taking the thread off topic, I am getting there gradually, having burnt the midnight oil on this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. New PC is up and running, with internet & e-mail connections much faster. Having to beg new templates from business contacts to get the word processing up and running and someone is kindly copying stuff from floppy disc to CD for me (old computer was too old to burn to CD and new one is too new to accept floppy discs). Camera and printer working but scanner not vista compatible. No base for the monitor as yet so it is currently lying on its back and I am having to stand up to read this.
