But they are more like it, I suppose. But idiots like me still find the operational side of computing as complicated as a plate of spaghetti - but with the spaghetti you can just " do it ".


"Computers of 15 years ago were lumbering, expensive dinosaurs, just as are the ebook readers of today. "

Ardeegee - I'll give you the lumbering, but not the expensive, or the dinosaurs, as against today ! My "stack" now is a bit bigger than our first PC, and I still find them a lot of dosh.
Having said that, I have seen recently a neat little stack the size of a paperback: that looked a bit more like it. But they still have the same convoluted software - and you need another one to play DVD's etc...

Oh well, wait in hope.............
