New computer is laptop. Old computer has killed 2 hard drives. I bought and had installed a new hard drive and a clone of the old one done. I don't ever want to be without a computer again. I've become an online baby and had to try to do everything on my cell phone. pfft! That is the way I researched and purchased the laptop. I pay all my bills online. Plus banking, etc. It was a real headache. The 2005 computer had programs on it that I had downloaded with a license that I had purchase years before. Those programs were continually updated. But, since having 2 blank computers asking for downloads, I have received several downloads that are not backward compatible with stuff I had been working with before. Although I maintain an address book of passwords, new programs have additional security protocols and it helps if someone is in the Help office over the holidays. Janet US |

Either way, no big deal. It's true :) It's hilly here. Some people have mobile range, others don't. We're in between. But that's mobile. We use ADSL via the landline.

Yes, I've seen that too. I guess we're not organised enough to do that in time. |

My land line is connected to an answering machine. However hardly anyone ever phones me yet I discovered a fireproof way of getting a phone call. My phone may not ring for days but all I need to do is get into the shower and as soon as I'm wet the phone rings... and the caller never leaves a message and has a block on so I never know who was calling... another reason why I don't need a phone. And I make very few calls, if I call twice a week that's a lot... my only call today was to Walgreens to ask when they will be giving the vaccine, they "haven't a clue". |

It certainly seems to happen to some people, unless they were always attached to a phone. I occasionally pull out my smart phone to check things out to pass time in lines at stores. I occasionally phone my wife from a grocery store to see if there is anything she needs. I couple months ago I went to a furniture store in search of a new recliner. I had been striking out everywhere and was not expecting much so it seemed like a destination for a motorcycle ride with my friend. I saw some chairs I liked. I took some pictures of them and emailed them to my wife. She liked them. There were three models and a choice of colours, so I sent her one of each style and the colours available. It saved me a 35 mile trip each way to bring her back and show them to her. I ordered one..... still waiting for delivery. |
