Come off it Lloyd. There is no point in using top end, low volume selling products deliberately priced high for an "exclusive" end of the market to try and make your point. Now give us the comparison between an Apple laptop and a Windows laptop of same spec or a Samsung phone compared to a...

I wouldn't let Windows anywhere near my IMac, although I do use Office, Skype occasionally, although I prefer FaceTime....really Pete, anyone would think your jealous 😉 Your thought logic that makes you think me jealous is rather perverse but might explain why you worship the world's greediest comp...

Skype is Microsoft. I'm surprised the snobbery of Apple users allow it on their devices especially as it is free. But wait, didn't Apple abandon the "superior" Motorola processors for the "inferior" Intel things used on the PCs? That meant they can run Windows which opened the do...

What do Apple users use for Word Processing, Spreadsheets, email, browsers etc. Does Apple supply them all?

If you read the posts properly that question has been very clearly answered.

Once upon a time, we used a BBC B Computer which could only interact with us via a command prompt and string code. Along came Apple in 1984 (yes - 1984) and the Mackintosh was born. It changed computing forever with its user friendly Graphical User Interface which made our documents look like sheet...

Pete, have you had any Apple products? No, nor BMW, Mercedes or Dyson. But before you tell me not to knock Apple's products without using them let me remind you that I have not knocked their products only their corporate greed, overpricing and lack of corporate philanthropy. Pete Well said, Pete! N...

. I love the way that all my devices seemlessly talk to each other..hardly any setting up, it just happens! Hardly an Apple feature. I could say the same in my home: 2 laptops, NAS, Tablet, 2 smartphones, Android TV box, Smart TV, printer. Our Wii is no longer connected. Pete Again, you are wrong.....

The same 'expensive' criticisms Pete makes of Apple could equally be made of Mercedes or BMW or any other premium brand, but as always, you get what you pay for...and Apple's quality is superb. At no time have I denigrated Apple's quality. I simply am disgusted by the deliberate, clever and calcula...

... I occasionally use Firefox but never use Edge and have removed Internet Explorer. I strongly urge you to check out your Win 10 installation and drivers. Pete Pete- you cannot remove M$ Internet Explorer, as it's part of the underlying OS. Run with the latest Mozilla FireFox 54 and set it to be ...

And of course Apple products looks so dammed good.....you get what you pay for, simply the best....looks and performance. Once more I find myself - rather embarrasingly - having to agee with you :lol: But I don't buy for looks (though they are good), but rather functionality. Not for nothing are Ap...

Hi I would recommend apple too. My laptop is updated to windows 10 and is proving to be a real frustration. It was really slow for a while until I tracked down the problem to windows defender, it was in a continuous loop checking itself (turned off defender, not easy, then installed 3rd party virus...

I never cease to be amazed at the amazing marketing job Apple, the world's greediest company, have achieved in making people believe that by paying enormously more for their products they getting something better. They have pulled so many strokes at ripping their customers off who still come back in...

But at a big price on TRNC mobile tariffs, so don't use it for idle chat! Just keep it in case of emergency, yeah? Why on earth can Cyta not arrange mobile phone roaming in the North, for crying out LOUD? Are they that blinkered still? AL :) Al, surely you have noticed there is a political situatio...

That's a great shame. I hope they can get it sorted.

I don't think they are frequent. I think they're part of the summer fun. Haven't been to that one for probably 5 years.

Yup, that's the one. Probably 50/50 food stalls and hardware/toys/clothes and other stuff.

If you plan to go up the panhandle, and it is worth it, check out the fun and very enjoyable beach chalets you can stop at. There are several along the south coast including my favourite near the top of the panhandle with a lovely beach, mainly wooden but some metal chalets where the food is absolut...
