My PC has stopped operating properly. Despite reboots, and all the usual troubleshooting, it is constantly crashing.
As a result, I am posting this from my tablet, to let you know that I have no idea when I will be posting regularly again, and I am currently unable to answer comments, or read your posts.
I cannot tolerate the annoying keypad of this tablet for long, or the slower speed of wi-fi.
I will let you know if and when I get it working.
Best wishes, Pete.

No, I bought it online, direct from Hewlett-Packard UK. 🙂
Only supermarkets, petrol stations, and smaller food shops are still open.

The internet and the computer are essential for me. Forget all other technology, just let me access the world virtually with my computer. I bet you feel similarly since you’re the most prolific blogger I know.

Pete, my iWatch has just decided to have a battery drain in 4 hours versus the usual 15-16…nothign has changed except its decision to stop functioning properly. Electronics are funny that way…except not funny at all

I only use it for reading books. The flat keypad is annoyingly sensitive for typing, and doesn’t work like a real keyboard either. 🙂
