Office 2010 or Office 365?
Going to buy a laptop. So, will need all the word, excel docs etc. Microsoft office 2010 is about £80, and office 365 is about £40. They look like they will both meet my requirements.

Wandering Mouse/pointer with a mind of its own!
I have a Sony all in one computer, about 3 years old. When it's 'waking up' and sometimes when there's a couple of programmes open and operating (especially iTunes) the mouse/ pointer has a life of its own for a while - probably up to about 30 seconds. It's really irritating. I've scanned it with anti-virus software, which…

Virgin Media Email
I suppose this is as much a rant as a request for suggestions.... With VM having adopted a modified version of the gmail web interface, I was surprised to find that their mail forwarding feature doesn't work. VM have sold around 100,000 dial-up customers to Talk Talk, so that they can "concentrate" on their cable service.…

If I right click on the email address, to send it to a new tab, like I used to on my old laptop, the tab opens up blank and…
