    Hi Lady of leisure, I know you where just joking dont worry about it as i wrote down everything about the lap top as i didnt have a clue all that mumbo jumbo computer jargon when they advertize these pc,s and lap-tops crikey its sounds like my rosa a lap-dog :D :D .
    Sorry i didnt answer about the balcony didnt see that, when i go to wales my neighbour actually when i say my neighbour i have known her since i was 17 year old she is like an aunty to me and lives on the ground floor next to the nutter with the ants and beetles and dear knows what else, she is going to have my key and will water my plants for me and also my best friend has bought the flat next door to us so she will be there to give her a helping hand as she is 78 years of age a darling of a lady [​IMG]

    Rosa,when are you going to Wales?We were there two years ago,and visited Tenby.The first time I had been there for years.It's funny how time flies so fast,that you don't realise how fast the years have gone until you sit and work it out,unless it is old age catching up with me.

    Hi kandyfloss,My hubby has just gone off-shore for 2 weeks waiting for the phone call anytime for the job he has been waiting to hear from them for over 6 months or so now. We know the guy that is running the job and he said within the next 2 weeks the company is just started employing men.
    The job is not actually in tenby, Milford Haven so we could be getting a house around a radius of about 10 miles or so.

    Old age is definately a factor with us all :D :D only joking

    windows xp to run fully needs 120 mb ram minimum...although it can run on 128 mb of ram but it will disable some processes to allow this.

    nowadays its best to have about 512mb of ram (memory) to run windows xp home/pro...with all the updates and service pack 2......antivirus software/firewalls/spyware programs etc.

    Agree with that marley farley, as i have a bt paperjet 50e fax machine and i cant buy or get the ink cartridges in the shops have to call bt and order one from them, that thing is not coppying my documents it has probably dried up again will have to take the cartridge out and stand it in some water, iff that does not work a new one will have to be ordered at �£10 a shot.
    Also i stopped doing my own picture enlargements on this hp copier/scanner as it uses all the colour cartridge up quick. now i take mine to tesco they are great they can crop your picture to size 10x8 for just �£1.80, well that is enough of me going on. :rolleyes: :D

    :mad: They are all pretty cute in some way or another it seems rosa... That is why I find Dell so appealing... Hardly use my printer now, but never for photos..!! As you say sooo much ink...!!!!I usually edit all my own photos at home then use an email ordering service... Extremely good value, very good quality & fast service.. Or if I just want a few, I edit them & load them back onto my camera chip & zip into boots to download & print them off there..... :D Well good luck with your new purchase rose....!! :D
