Thanks Chris - good idea.

often cheaper to buy new when needed, rather than pay D& G to repair. one of our washing machines some years ago cost more in spares to repair than a replacement, but they insisted in repairing rather than replacing.

It's only the motor that has stopped working, and its only 3 years old. I used to work in the environmental sector where one of the biggest gripes used to be the longevity of white goods.
The service engineer is coming on Monday (10 days after he was booked to come) and all he's going to do is look at it! TBH I'd like it to be repaired!

I've managed to resist it for a long time but, somehow, Windows 11 has snuck past my defences and installed itself on my laptop. I don't like it. I can see why I resisted it. It just doesn't seem as intuitive as the old Windows 10. There are certain functions I find difficult and am having to find 'workarounds' to get a result that was easier with 10.
Basically I'm too old for these changes to routine

We were forced onto Windows 11 at work and we now have to work harder to get things done. It's not intuitive at all. Very frustrating.

I'm still using Windows 7, I also have another PC running XP, in both cases to run older software that I've been using since the 1990s. I did buy a PC that had 10 and Edge, soon ditched that rubbish.
Another advantage - no updates to screw things up
