I'm going to have a look on Music Magpie and see what I can get for mine. I haven't bought a CD for ages - I always used to say I'd never download as I like to have the CD, but not any more!

I prefer XP to anything although this week I'm working on Windows 10 and Office 10, to me it's not much different to Office 7, this is all at work and next Week I get the official training.

At home I like XP on the main PC and this refurb one which my son made for me out of two old laptops has Vista which I really don't like, but I use it for ease but do tend to moan about it a lot!

It is each to his own I suppose but I do love to upgrade when I can.

I've never had a new laptop / computer Jan, my son makes them all so I have what I'm given. Luckily he is able to get bits from here there and everywhere.

One day I can feel an Ipad coming my way....as if!

Ipad doesn't do it for me, but it's brilliant that your son can do that. Wish I had someone who could do a rebuild for me!

Dave could do that, he's pretty good with computers.

An Ipad doesn't really appeal to me either - one of the main problems is you can't have Adobe Flash.

Oh I'd love an ipad all my work colleagues have them so do get to use theirs but I'm like the poor employee who makes out she don't want one!

Eldest son is the one who does the fixing, I can't do anything like that I only teach the office package. x

I'm afraid I just have to go out and get a new laptop! Thankfully parents paid for the last one!

Oh Andy that's made me laugh again out loud and my hubby is looking at me like I'm not right!

I love that!

old laptop finally went to the graveyard in the sky, so today bought a refurb with a 12 month guarantee, seems to be ok and life can get back to normal[:)]

I always think so long as it's sufficient for your needs then it's good enough.

I've got training all day tomorrow on our new system....can't wait...not!
