danny. If Tramodol is supposed to slow you down try taking five more because one doesn't seem to work.!!!!

[dannyk13]

I said they slowed me down ,not put me to sleep.I think you could do with some.

[Bathsheba]

[retrocop]

Morning Bathsheba. Haven't forgotten your flowers xxx
I noticed earlier my old desk top was very slow and kept freezing so I have brought out my secret weapon. My brand new Acer super charged retro rocketed lap top. It goes like the proverbial through a goose so be warned for the future!!

[bryand]

Thank you again dannyk13 and retrocop for your prompt and helpful answers. A Tie for 'Best Answer'

[retrocop]

Your welcome.

[dannyk13]

Oh nooooooo not a supercharged Acer.

[retrocop]

With twin injectors!!

[Bathsheba]

Morning gents.
Well I've no chance now then on my 4 year old HP laptop with constantly whirring fan + dangerously high fever, lol :)

[retrocop]

Bathsheba
Please be careful.The fan on my last Acer DID expire and was in danger of over heating and a possible fire hazard.xxx

[Bathsheba]

Thanks retro....yes, I am being careful....I don't leave it unattended....in fact, I have got a new one, but can't get to grips with Windows 8 :(

[MargoTester]

Danny - either stop taking the tramadol, or send me some please. Retro - twin injectors indeed! What chance do the rest of have now? I am definitely going on a speed typing course, shame I can't go on one to speed up the brain. Morning to you both must be lovely to see have many friends you have.

[dannyk13]

Had the same problem in not liking windows 8 . I went back to windows 7

[retrocop]

Windows 8 is different to say the least. I was miffed because a perfectly good and reasonably new HP printer is not,apparently,compatible with it

[dannyk13]

@ Margo, Morning, I'm still typing with two fingers.

[retrocop]

Good morning Margo. It is rather humbling to have so many friends and well wishers you,of course, are included. Thanks. Ready for some more BA's today?

[dannyk13]

Is it my imagination or have BA's become few and far between lately?

[Bathsheba]

Morning Margo.
I've given up trying to beat either of these two!
Dannyk...is it possible to go back to Windows7 on a new laptop with 8.1?
Retro...I'm not at all techy, but even I know all printers go into a sulk when introduced to a new 'puter ;)
