    it's because my computer is dying!!!!!!!!:gaah: I have had this iMac for 10 years but now everthing is packing up. Bookmarks have gone awol, Firefox takes 15minutes to pull itself together and I seem to have a permanent spinning wheel on the screen. Tried to update it but the disc (which you have to purchase from Apple) tells me that I have obsolete technology and I need an Intel Processor!!! :frown:
    So.....................I am purchasing a new 21.5" iMac which is a super duper piece of kit!! :wow: might take me a while to get used to it but boy I sure am gonna enjoy finding my way around!!:yahoo:

          10 years is a goodly amount of usage, Val :dbgrtmb:
