Hi Jackie I think I may have given the impression that I was still looking for a new laptop. I have the new laptop now! Firstly, Blazie Engineering were telling me a desk pc was better for me, on the grounds more powerful. I was not going along with their advice because having used a laptop for over 8 years I was happy to stay with laptops. So cut long story shrot they refused to deal with me for training etc. The council then ordered my new laptop, (not sure where from) and booked my training with Sight & Sound. Sight & Sound had no problem with me preferring a laptop. And if you think about it, given what i use it for, there is likely no real advantage of desk computer anyway. All I want is: emails, printing, and internet for news that sort of thing. So no playing games, no long downloads of music or books etc. my use is pretty basic compared to some users here.
