Hi bergz, Thanks for your reply. I think I have located some of those files. Problem is, I am scared to try importing them. Afraid I will lose the addresses I have meantime found from other sources. IMHO, computers are so d*****d unforgiving. …

Hi hmurchison, Decided on the Sony. Bought it Saturday. Bit frightened of it at present - no previous experience. It can work with Bluetooth, but I doubt that will be very useful. Thanks for your earlier response. Peace eric j

Thanks hmurchison, A couple of things I might have added. -My eyesight's below average, so a 3.5inch viewfinder is welcome. -I want to video amateur theater productions, so good lowlight performance is welcome. Will look at the Panasonic. …

Hi, My mother was a country girl from South England. When she found a spider in the house, she scooped it up carefully and put it in the garden. She quoted an old folk saying from those parts "If you want to live and thrive, Let a spider ru…

Hi, I have used a Mac for nearly 20 years. Never had a virus. Because I believe that the Mac's relative immunity from viruses is largely attributable to low market share, (I'm not a computer techie), I say we should NOT encourage Wintel users …

I am a Brit with a paternal Italian grandfather. A child during WW 2 when the "Ities" were part of the enemy (tho' rather risible). In spite of "funny" family name, happy childhood. After 50 odd years living and working in UK, now doing the same…

Hi, I have a knowledgable friend. He tells me that the most popular postcard among young Arabic people, bought in thousands, depicts Osama Bin Laden. I have no way of verifying this statement, but normally he is a reliable and objective source. …

pfflam, I, too ,have an opinion on the morality of, and events leading up to, the Iraq conflict, but I am not prepared to vent it in a forum. The whole issue is too complex, IMHO, to discuss rationally and in a historical context without much tim…

pfflam, I am a uncomfortable that you feel that I have hidden or obscure motives. I tried really hard to be open. I had no intention to express an opinion either for or against the Iraq conflict, if that is what you suspect. I try to look at i…

pfflam, Neither bright or dark. Just that some who die and who are injured in wars would have suffered anyway from other causes. IMHO, the headline figures of casualties take no account of the probability that some would have been impacted by …

BeigeUser, Oh dear me. I begin to wonder whether the dreaded Alzheimer's is trying to insinuate itself. I posted a message to Messiahtosh that I should have directed to you. It ran: I know nothing about the Japanese market but I would like …

Messiahtosh, I know nothing about the Japanese market but I would like to congratulate you on your rational analysis of Apple's position there (even if it's just one person's view, a reasoned argunent like this is a pleasure to read). Peace e…

Re. people and jobs: A wise British businessman said, some 50 years ago (I can name him if anybody wants to know) "Costs walk in on two feet". I agree. The more people, the more interactions, the more meetings, the slower the decisions, the m…

Hello Escher, I'm a Brit, since 1980 living and working in Basel. My wife is a Baslerin, so I have heard many of the old jibes, Basel vs. Zürich and vice versa. After all this time and the friendly reception I received in BSL. I feel completely a…
