You are totally corrrect,your comment of the staff is very valid some do know what they are talking about but have no desire to share the knowledge,others have no idea except what they pick up along the way,like them or oathe them I love my local Maplins they really do guide you and the guys there really do give you the benefit of their knowledge.when I wanted a new psu the guy spent nearly an hour with me so I really appreciated all he had told me.

Im not the sharpest tool in the box (as you know) and I still have some of that stuff on my new  laptops which I purchased this year and even my desktop.....because it can be very unerving to,delete or unistall things which we think may damge the pc or it will no longer work after.I think that people like me should shoulder a lot of the blame,a little research could save a lot of heartache and worry for some.....this isnt a subject that can be learned overnight,but it is certainly packaged and sold under this illusion.

I doubt I will ever master the thing but I know people that think I am a genius just because I have set up a wireless connection or something as simple as this,or even installed a programme.........its very common I ask and google but I have a very long way to go before the "confidence" and that is the key to it is ever there,I find my young children aged just 8 and 10 have no fear and get better results sometimes why?because they have no fear,they just think...whats that button and have a good go and get results,adults think twice and are generally afraidof the PC...well thats my opinion.............................now playing the blues on the blues on piano now thats a different thing entirely  ;D

I think that's a very relevant point, David.  I don't profess to be a 'techie', but what I have learnt, was learnt from clicking on stuff to see what it did.  I soon realised that there's always a reverse for any forward action, and that in most cases, the computer will not allow the user to do something catastrophic, without warning after warning, and if one is daft enough not to read them, that's when they get into trouble.  I know that's all very general, and things can go wrong, but I think the basic premise of clicking on stuff to learn your way around a program, or Windows itself, is a good one.

I also saw him filming in Brighton, I think it was Mona Lisa, but didn't get to meet him.  He's always seemed OK to me.  :)

This could be the beginning of the end for IE.  Meanwhile I've downloaded the patch.   :D
