Hi George.
Yes, the computer is over 2 years old and the shop where I put it into, well
the owners undertook one of those college courses which enable people like
them, set up as computer repair experts . They do have a pretty poor
reputation over here, but I suppose given that I had almost destroyed my
computer, by spilling liquid into it, to get it back working, even for a
short time, was worth the million quid I paid them to do it.
I'm always spilling, or knocking over tea, coffee or Tenants Lager and I
suppose, drips did get into the machine. Not any more, a very nice joiner
has built me a wee work station, out of kitchen units and now my computer is
safe and dry.
Best wishes.
Andy
