    Hi,

    and hello to you all.

    I was getting worried when I registered because there was a bit of a delay and I did not know what to do because I am of the Autumn generation so am not good at posting or anything techie!.
    But all seems to be well now.

    I hope I do better asking questions on the much needed forum.

    Kindest regards

    Trish

      I think quite a few of us on this site are of an older generation. There are some very helpful and knowledgeable people on this site.

                          Hi Trish, fear not, you joined just after me and I had an almost identical experience and although I too am no longer young, I am a web developer haha. Read into that what you will.

                          I hope you enjoy the site as much as I am so far.

                            Hi cinnamon:g

                            I had to think about this one for a while, would that be a 'cobweb developer'?

                              judging by the amount of spiders I have seen around my home this last few weeks that is not a description too far away from he truth. :heehee:

                                “The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout.
                                Down came the rain, and washed the spider out.
                                Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain,
                                and the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again”
