You could give the old computer to an organisation like these guys

Just remove and destroy the hard drive before you do. They can then put another hard drive in

I love this old machine. :'( :'(

Don't know what made me spot it last night...But I noticed that Norton had 'switched itself off'.
Presumably something I'd done a few days ago when I uninstalled that SpeedUpMyPC prog.

Better switch it back on again, thought I.
Every time I tried.... It ran for a while and then crashed...The whole PC, I mean.

I had some poor soul at Norton playing with the machine remotely, for about about 3 hours late last night.
He appears to have taken out the old Norton Progs....and downloaded everything back again.....
And tweaked the new Norton progs (I think)

It all seems to work again......But I bet e'mails take forever to come through as they did previously. (They've been coming in at light-speed for the last few days.)
Just over three weeks 'til we get the new machine.....I can't wait !  ;D ;D ;D
If I disappear between now and the beginning of October.....You'll know the reason why. ;)
