Well Dorothy, he seemed to know what he was talking about. I don't understand what all that stuff about funding is all about though. I thought this administrator thing was automatic with XP, and a most unnecessary complication if you are a single user. Well good luck, maybe you're getting there at last. ----- Original Message ----- From: "dorothy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <User@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2006 5:44 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Tiddy Maggie,software hardrives etc I know I should try to give one at a time answers as flor would say but not always possible. I had an Email from Chairman of KAb Maggie and uses Onetel the only reasonable package at twenty something had 512 not 2 mb as I now have he knew about the extra £1 charge you can still use 195 as we VIps can for directory enquiries. I will wait for the pack. Then I did the following I was given the name of a business that makes to measure computers and a lady I know who has a little group, one of whom are VIP said they call him the Guru as he is so good. I phoned him and he with great patience explained tome the following. The words " a Network cable is unplugged" that should have been stopped from saying that at the time the Wireless Router and desktop set up. no need for me to grovel under the table looking for unplugged cables. Next Tiddy for you I asked about software being sold under Licence, he said " all software is sold under licence" he then tried to explain to me and I I said Ok he said it is a FUND only thing is there no mo ney in the Fund! I am sure most you will understand this I am a wee bit baffled no so a Fund or Trust like an Insurance Policy that is worthless? Nest I asked him about the fact that I have been set up as an Administrator which Tony Berry will have to do something about that so simple as all home with him. He side didn't agree with the statement Tony made that " its in normal circumstances good practise" he said for a person in my situation it was not best practise and the Engineer should have had more sense. Next then I asked about Hard drive failure noise he says that both Western digital and IBM Hitachi are very good, but he thinks the shouldn't loud but he would expect some ticking not the grunts groans I am getting. OK? then about Defrag I now understand about Indexes and spaces like library book shelf and what happens if you take on the space filled and about then my mind went a bit blank.To sum up I get the general idea. He thinks t he hardrive was weak and maybe the Defrag was a bit too much for it. Now now I have picked this mans brain and know he is kkind and patient and if I ever want a tailor-made computer would most likely go to him. He said of laptop they are not economical to make as the components are too small to be worth while. If any of this is any use to anyone if only so they know the questions to ask I hope it helps you.think only think I understand. H said it is like a Trust think of the NHS the National Health Service . Bearing in mind that " a little learning is a dangerous thing" if anyone wants to add or comment upon this I shallbe mosthappy to hear anything useful I can say formyself that I haveonly learned that no 2 opinions seem tobe the same for what itis worth Dorothy ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq -- No virus found in this incoming message.
