Oh dear EvilS sounds like a bit of nightmare for you. Awful when that happens eh but at least you had all your stuff backed up phew.
My mobile isn't new though, in fact its probable 8+ years old now so its not that I struggle to use it...I use it for social media, web browsing, emails etc etc all fine but as soon as it try to view the forum well...enough said. My newer laptop (well I've had that 2 years but its older than tha as i bought it as a refurb in lockdown) annoys me too as the battery only lasts a few hours and the touch control pad is way to sensitive for my heavy handed touch so I finish up shouting at it all the time as it does random things lol
So here I am again on my sons old laptop which i tend to only use whenever I need to use my vinyl cutting machine (yes I know that sounds a bit weird) but it seems this oldie it great for the forum plus I don't even get adverts popping up
Anyway I'm rambling again....just as I always did on here.....Have a great Xmas and all the very best for the New Year x
And Lt K.... Happy Xmas and all the best for the new year to you too x
