Well it should keep you from getting too set in old ways, I suppose!<br /><br />My wireless keyboard never gave me a problem on either computer, but trying to install one WITH a wire on my old laptop locked everything up so now Windows on that machine won't accept commands from ANY keyboard including the one on the computer. (I haven't had time to even try to sort that out yet.)<br /><br />Yesterday on top of everything else (last week was a bad one) I found myself without internet. Turned out it was an external fault nothing to do with my modem or router or computer. Just as I got off the phone with the company this morning I found myself reconnected. Hoping it will last! Even just 18 hours cut off from the rest of the world made me feel very "lost"...DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956409908791716009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-2571079975085575002010-04-28T04:08:37.870+01:002010-04-28T04:08:37.870+01:00Blame it all on technology.

I also remember that when my parents bought their first CD player they had an awful lot of trouble with the remote and the suggestion was to use a normal light bulb instead of the energy saving one they had in. They changed the bulb and the remote started to behave. Could be a strange coincidence but worth looking at if it's driving you mad!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-81264709037447274392010-04-27T17:12:14.283+01:002010-04-27T17:12:14.283+01:00PS Adrian.

I wouldn't swap with you for all the tea in China. <br /><br />I shall catch up with you later. In the meantime I wish you 'Go well'.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-22028555709698749832010-04-27T16:48:34.601+01:002010-04-27T16:48:34.601+01:00Adrian: Now that I've managed to stop laughing...Adrian: Now that I've managed to stop laughing I will respond!<br /><br />Shostakovitch and BB would definitely keep me awake. So I wouldn't get nightmares!<br /><br />Saucepans: Ta. I hadn't thought of that. The problem is that in NZ they are kept in a drawer, not a cupboard. I'm a simple minded sort of bloke and find it hard to adjust to such a huge change.<br /><br />The keyboard's that is causing the problem at the moment is new. It replaced one that had been like that from new. I can't speak for CJ's. I think it's something to do with being upside down. They work when they are. Or something.<br /><br /><br />Oh. And By The Way (by Beachcomber, remember him?) I may be a whinging Pom but I'm not a winging one (I can't fly although Gaz and I were talking about getting our paragliding licences when he visits me in NZ December)!Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-75533014084917208532010-04-27T15:12:47.837+01:002010-04-27T15:12:47.837+01:00Whew!

...Thought you must be back, it's raining here!!<br />Nightmares, you are listening to the wrong music try Shostakovitch or Benjamin Britain, they will pale int insignificance.<br />Saucepans sort them out fro yourself, you're a big boy now.<br />The keyboard is broken spelt with an 'F'. Get a new one, or if it came with software reinstall that. I switched to Windows 7 on your recommendation and I'm glad I did. But my card reader wouldn't work nor would one external hard drive. Gave them a serious talking to and a slap and all is now well.<br />Welcome back and stop moaning you winging Pom.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.com
