I'm still running XP on the computer, due to working hardware replacement costs. Especially when they work.

An A0 printer is expensive these days.

Oh, I totally get that.

I don't think it's anything to do with the keyboard itself. When the Euro was introduced, you downloaded or upgraded something to make the Euro symbol work. I can't remember the details now as it was so long ago but I would have thought any computer made since then would have it already done.

Maybe you have your keyboard set to American standard or something.

When the euro was introduced they manufactured keyboards with a euro symbol. My keyboard is clearly older than that. There is no euro on my keyboard.

what's so hard to understand?

Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant. I thought you couldn't use the Euro symbol when typing.

If they're mains powered, then you probably had a very short power cut.

Can knock that theory on the head without even considering it. They're all battery powered. One watch, one mobile phone on my person. With the third being a mobile left at home.

Personally, I prefer 3.1. Who needs a Start Menu and file names with more than eight letters are for wimps!

I can let you have a copy, if you still have a floppy drive*. Or I should be able to copy the hard drive with it on.

One for the statisticians on here.
What are the chances of three seperate, unconnected, digital clocks/timers all "stopping" at the same time?
Or did something happen today at 15:44?

After he died, I collected my Father's possessions from the hospital, and his watch had stopped at 3.45pm.

About a year later, on holiday in Portugal, we went past a church with a clock on the tower. The clock was not working, and had stopped at 3.45pm.

There is a chocolate croissant in the kitchen with my name on it.

True to our normal fashion, a family lunch turned into almost 3 hours of eating, dinking & nattering - a good time was had by all.
I then continued the spending spree with the exciting purchase of 2 doormats and a washing up bowl from the local hardware store having dropped the oldies at home.
I did find time for a late afternoon loop into Felixstowe & back to do a quick test ride of the new wheels I fitted yesterday, but this coincided with sea mist starting to roll in and a noticable drop in the temperature as I got to the cliff top.

That's a sign, and I am now genuflecting, as my ma always did when she said that.
