        That's looks good but i can't be bovverd half the time to wait for my laptop to warm up.
        I access everthing from my Sony smart phone.
        (The only drawback is the small key pad)
        If i want to see the upload pic's in more detail then I'll fire up the p.c.

        We don't have laptops or smart phones but our two desktops only take a few seconds to be ready and raring to go. :hapydancsmil:

        This computer only takes about three seconds and the other takes about 10 seconds (it has a lot more programmes and data on it).

            Soon realised that this French keyboard was not about getting use to it but about know how3 to control it..after half an hour of trying to enter our security code from the router I twigged..press the spy sign on the entry box with the inbuilt mouse you can then see what you are typing:ideaIPB:as all in capitals with errors....So now keep finger on spy as typing to see where I am going wrong..needed extra fingers so called Mr.W in from the garden..gave him the low down and he pressed and I pressed and soon we got it all wrong still..this is what we have done at the moment..so we have a french keyboard but when using them it types in the British layout..so I picked out the letters that are different, Mr.W is only going to use it so does not require any thing over a child's mentality:whistle::oops:I will get to the bottom of this 2 faced note book:catapult:

              This is my set up for Work, GC and "play". It's a PC Specialist Desktop with a AMD Razen 9 CPU, 64RAM, and other bits and pieces. I like Desktops as I can have them built to my needs though, of course, they're not as mobile:dunno::heehee: I also have trouble with Laptop keyboards, even though I'm a RSA qualified touch typist, (from my rif raf days working on Teleprinter machines), as they're too flat so I use a conventional Desktop keyboard. I do have a Laptop, but that is used solely for controlling the Telescope mount in the Observatory and taking astronomy images.

              but, despite all my efforts to set up what is the best Workstation for me, it does suffer from some serious "technical" issues.......
