Gonna have to print this, and may need some clarification if I get stuck, but thank you, thank you, it's just so needed.I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.
Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.0 -
Thank you! I thought it was something along these lines - but you give a much better explanation than the website. Will add this onto my old laptop!
Trying to remember what my old laptop was like when it was brand new. Maybe I shouldn't compare with my new computer I'm working on! However, I did remove norton off the old computer and it's greatly sped up!0
