It might seem a dumb question but..............

Because I believe there are dozens of us who would very much like to ask questions like thus:- I have a few hundred photographs on my computer and would like to be able to "lift" some of then onto a disc so that they can be shown on our TV.…

Q about NTL IP addresses
I run a chat forum and recently had a few strange events, mainly one member sending me PMs about my family. Then another member joined and I noticed they had the same IP address. Also, when one member logged off the other would log on, which was odd as the time in the UK was around 2am and it seemed more than a coincidence…

3G data cards
