No internet connection
My DD has a Sony Vaio laptop. She is frequently finding she cannot access the internet either via my wireless system or when out and about.

Plusnet want to kill my puter
But why? Lately my access is rubbish, slow as owt. I suspect I may be being 'shaped'. Plusnet's answer is to propose 'tests' which involve switching off all firewalls for hours at a time. Is it just me or does this not seem like a marvellous idea? Or is it how they get rid of 'noisy' customers - wreck their puters, get…

Reading a Mac data CD/DVD on a PC - SOLVED
I have (I hope) a .iso image file on a DVD that was written on a Mac. It's not readable under either Windows or Linux, and a bit of searching shows that it's probably been written with an HFS filesystem.

Hi I'm using a three USB dongle and once connected it seems to swing between 3G and HPDSA every 10-15 seconds, usually losing my connection entirely.

Also, there is a Field for the date which says O XX OOOO, (or similar) and updates to today's date when…
