Ohh, that was no expert... But after trying, again, to explain that Yahoo is
NOT the server and being told that 'no, no.. we don;t use broadband
telephone. We have broadband satellite...'
And learning, again, that 'xxxx says everybody goes on the web to send
emails now.'
I swear to high heaven the next time I get a phone call asking me to come
round and 'look at this box on my screen that's stopping the computer from
working,' I will.... Run away with the postman.
gawd, what a morning.

Read this week, though I expect it has been about for sometime. Car crashed

Ahhh. Progress...

Computers don't die slowly, they either work or don't work. Yours isn't dying but it may
not be fast enough.
