I'm back

I tried the speakers earlier, not impressed a tall and turned them back off again, I tried listening to Florence and the Machine and she sounded like she had her head in a bucket!

I would be if I understood what I get told, which most of the time I don't.

You are probably in one the best places ever for obtaining free I.T. Support here!

If you have a camera built into the laptop there will be a microphone somewhere, modern microphones are miniscule dn hide behind the tiniest of holes.

Thanks but I'm not into films much, I prefer series as films seem like the viual equivalent of a short story. I think I'm a long way off doing zoom, I think I have a camera and speakers, but no microphone.

Welcome back CW. If you got a decent laptop (and get the urge) you can join our Zoom film night!

Halfway decent film this week.

Thankyou, said with as much humerous sarcasm as the last sentence of your post, lol.

Welcome back, happy new laptop! Hope all goes ok. We know how much you love technology!

Good to hear!

Yes, I need to do all the recovery process for my email to get it set up again, one thing I'd forgotten is how nice laptop keyboards are to use, so much sturdier than normal keyboards. I havve to wear my glasses as the screens not as big as I've been used too, but it's good to know I'm not tied to a desk. I doubt if I will use it on my lap very often as Boris thinks being my laptop is his job and he's only spread his furry self across it.

well done with the laptop. All you need now is to figure out how to work it! 

Welcome back, fellow Cat-Lover.

Nice! I was worried that we'd never see you again!
