Evening all, relief at last. All set up and running smoothly, touch wood. Had a ghastly time. Couldn't load programmes, USB wouldn't work and to cap it all I loaded Norton anti-virus and found I had The Blaster Worm and the Welchia Worm as well. Still I've successfully removed them with the aid of Symantecs removal tools and Outlook Express loads up in a milli-second and not the half a minute it was taking before.

I have the same problem as you. All my contacts are on my old PC which I think I will try to fix myself. My USB problem was a corker because I use a USB Flash Drive for my back-up, so I could not read any of my finacial data or genealogical files.
Still I'm now up and running and just a few odds and ends to sort. So, I guess it's time to break out the bubbly and sherry trifle and get on with life.

I'm delighted you have now sorted your computer. I also couldn't access the Family Tree that I had been working on for about 3 years. Wan't prepared to 'lose 1867 people' and all that research, but a friend of mine worked out a piece of software was missing that made the bridge and voila!
As for the contacts? Who cares? If they want to contact me, I'll add them back in. I have missed very few people, so perhaps that was a lesson in itself!
Err.....Did I hear the sound of a cork exploding from a bottle neck? Is is past Midday.....YIPPEEEEE, I've spotted an almost-full bottle and detect some over chips in the oven. Great lunch, thanks Socks!

Sent via MoneyAM. Till I get my old PC up and running I don't have your e-mail, silly me, could have sent mine to you. I've just spent about 3 hours going through 1841 census CDs. Eyes now suitably blurred and brain addled. I'll open another bottle of the good stuff.

Yes it is that time of the year again - the children went back to school and promptly brought back their germs which, with their usual generosity in these matters, they happily shared with their dad.
Even worse one of them picked up the dreaded thread worms - I think they are even worse than the nits.

Sounds like you are having a whale of a time. There's nothing like kids to keep you on your toes.

Ah the Millwall Mutt has returned from stirring up the Turkish/Greek war!
Tell me Jeff; if Turkey invaded Cyprus from the rear would Greece help?
How did it all go, total success or any probs there? Welcome back anyhow.
Believe 'The Saints' lost today, wonder how your lot got on.
Daresay you'll have rec'd Hils 'gem' mail, here's hoping its correct info.
Hanging my head in shame as didn't follow up your info of a few weeks ago re pdx, all to my cost; maybe the gem will make up for it.
Saw the mail re your 78 smash hits; I couldn't work out how to get them here even if I got a modern 78 record player, have an antique one here but no idea if it works.
G is calling, time for a small brandy and then the wooden hill as we're now in Spring and getting up time has shifted somewhat.

Hows it going mate. Loved Cyprus, the Greek Cypriots are great, most of them sound like they are from Newcastle anyway, and probably are. Great weather, food and they drive on the same side of the road as us.
West Hame V Millwall tomorrow, apparantly one of the biggest Police operations staged at a footie match.
Not been doing much share wise, do a bit of Dow dabbling now and then but nothing serious. How is your investing going?, I see TRK is up and down like a whores draws, you still in that one?
Hil has been on a bit of a run lately, so ignore her at your peril.
I'm just looking for a holiday in Florida for begining of Nov, 26th wedding anniv so want to take the wife away. Probably somewhere like Sarasota or Naples.
Hope you and G are well

Hi Jeff, not up to much really. Got a stinking cold so not feeling too lively. Been looking at a few shares and passing on the benifit of my wisdom(?) on one or two bulletin boards, apart from that, not a lot.
Have you kept up with Wiggins? Developments there look quite 'interesting' although what it means for shareholders remains to be seen.

Hops it wasn't Me germs you caught; it's amazing what viruses you can pick up from the internet!
How many Cypriots are going to the Eng/turkey riots?

Thanks Jeff. That's a kind offer but I'm not that bothered about it.
Glad to hear that Cyprus was fun. I recall a trip up the Troodos mountains in an open top Jeep in spring one year. J had a crazy idea that if there was snow we might be able to ski. Derrrrrr!

That's not such a crazy idea. It was a boast of airmen I have known that they would go skiing in the morning and swimming in the afternoon, gave the sea time to warm up a bit. OK for some.
