I've heard too many horror stories about Pay Pal - so I just will not use it.

I thought that it would be votes that counted - so though I've voted I'm not saying how .

Gwyn's post seems , to my mind, to be very sensible and makes some excellent points , which do need to be considered

That's very good

Whisky

Got in from the camera class at 9.30 and found that everyone was getting ready for going South again tomorrow [ instead of Friday ] so things were a tad chaotic .

had fed them all on Shepherds pie tonight . Eldest grandson's face was a study as his plate was presented to him You would have thought I was trying to poison him

The plateful vanished like Snaw off a Dyke and the comment " that was excellent " was made while he was polishing his plate I gather said shepherds pie was a resounding success with him and his wee sister.

That is one very cheeky wee Cyril

#s 3 and 4 are my favourites

Tony - that's a fabulous shot of Cyril

Errr - My MBPs do not have a battery hatch - you would need to remove the WHOLE of the back to get at the memory and then there are the 10 teeny wee cross headed screws - Nightmare time .

That link was from early Feb 2009 - my MBPs were bought in Nov 2009 [ they are 13 ins ]

One snag with the metal unibody MBPs - more difficult to get in and upgrade the RAM - I'll grant you the plastic bodied MacBook were easier to upgrade your own Memory

Wait for Stefan

I use 2 MacBook Pros , one goes away on holidays with me . Both are backed up to Desktop External Drives.

I've never used a PC - indeed I have a friend who , using Logmein , ensures that my husband's PC Lappy is kept up to date re patches etc , for my elder Daughter to use when she visits . I have tried to use the PC , but I just don't get on with it at all

Both my MBPs have conventional HardDrives .

OK - yes they are expensive - I'll grant you that . Mine just work

I trust that was a bottle from the Douro , Tony .
