How come you weren't at the Polemi festival?

Re: Perseids Meteor Shower

Rather disappointing this year at the times I was looking upwards. A few years ago I viewed them for the first time and it was an amazing display including one large fireball quite low in the sky.

Re: A new way to dispence Cyprus NHS prescriptions.

One possible effect might be to induce pharmacists to open in more rural areas if the catchment is big enough. As there is no pharmacy between Mesogi and Polis I would have thought one in Stroumbi or Polemi might find enough demand.

Re: Hearing aids

PeteandSylvi an excellent overview on hearing aids particularly your comment on background noise. This was the first thing I noticed but after 1 month it is becoming less noticeable so seems my brain is adjusting. End of day any hearing aid will be a compromise to natural hearing but it does not co...

Re: Hearing aids

I've had hearing aids for some time now and they have made an enormous improvement to not only my life but also Sylvi's. The first thing that happens when you get effective hearing aids is that you stop accusing your wife of mumbling and not speaking clearly. This leads to a lot less headaches and d...

Re: Advice please. New laptop needed. What is best Apple Macbook or Apple MacBook Air, or a new Microsoft Laptop?

Once upon a time all computers and peripherals were either battleship grey or boring beige. Along came Apple in 1998 and the iMac was born - a futuristic looking, aesthetically pleasing console in a translucent ‘Bondi Blue’ colour. The Market took a long time to catch up and make their equipment lo...

Just a thought here, but does Win10 carry an option to use a Win7 GUI themed layout, I wonder? Cheers- AL :? If you mean the conventional style start menu then there are a number of add-ons to achieve this. I use Classic Shell by Ivosoft. From the myriad of options I use the Windows 7 Style. Pete
