Re: New Laptop

Those of you who read the post that was inadvertently deleted will know that the Laptop went for a ' Hardware Service ' with SOS it is now back home and is working and has not cost a lot. I am in discussion with Brian about Dominic's suggestion of fitting an SSD and although he is more expensive tha...

Re: New Laptop

I like Dominic's suggestion about an SSD as you can now get them at very good prices on Amazon, but who would fit and set it up here if you did not buy it from them ? I would ask Computer SOS. If you don't ask, you won't know. Something gone odd here, my post is missing but here is a quote from it ...

New Laptop

My Wife's Laptop is acting up a bit so it looks like a new one is needed fairly soon. Now I know that most of you will say go to SOS, I have bought a lot of stuff from them, including the Laptop, but I would like to hear of good experiences that you have had with other suppliers, just to get a balan...

Re: Is that a eagle? (pics)

I am no expert but it might be a European Honey Buzzard, a type of Kite. There doesn't seem to be enough white at the front to be an Eagle at least not a Bonelli's.

Re: LHUKCY

Dominic, if you go to UK to CY on the Banner and then go to UK Depot you still get Cheetah. That's the website. All the banner does is direct people to the website. The website does need to be updated. According to LHUKCY facebook page, the person who does their website is currently suffering from ...

Those of you who use the service Lee provides, but are not on Facebook, me included, may not know that he has changed the UK Drop Off to Armadillo Storage in Stockton on Tees. Anything now going to Cheetah may well get lost. His Web Site, and his Banner Advert here, the last time I looked, were show...

Re: Seaweed

Also 'Seaweed' is one of the ' Biotanicals ' that they put in some Gin [ Harris for example ], another big market. I saw a programme on the TV that pointed out that there were so many different types of seaweed that just saying 'Seaweed ' was like saying there was only one vegetable. So many types, ...

There is an AD setting in the sound menu, but the remote will not highlight it. Anyway it is off. I will just have...

All very well but if something goes wrong after 1.00pm on Saturday, as it did, I would have to wait till 9.00am on Monday to contact the shop and I was hoping for a quick answer from the Techie members on here.

Re: Teelvisiion from SOS

On a slightly different note, with this new supplier we sometimes get what I believe is called " Audio Description" which is for the visually impaired. It appears to be random, is anyone else getting this? Can I remove it ?
