Chris, I'm surprised you got on well with Vista, most people didn't. Windows XP was a sound reliable version but is not supported any more. My company wouldn't have Vista (or Windows 2000) on any of their PCs. 7 was OK, 8 was awful, made barely usable by 8.1. I'm running Windows 10 both on my desktop PC and on my old Acer laptop, and don't have any trouble, except that on the rare occasions I use the laptop I have to download several Windows (and other) updates, or the poor thing is so slow it's almost unusable.

Both well thanks Chris, hope you and Jen are well too.
My last boss and I were trying to arrange a meeting once. I was using my paper diary and adress book, he used a smartphone. I said to him I can do something with my diary that you can't with your phone, threw my diary on the floor and stamped on it, then asked him how he's cope if he broke his phone. "Get a new one" he replied - "all the data is stored in the cloud". I couldn't do that, and not sure I'd want to!

HI PETE so the cloud must be a memory progame ?

Chris, it's a network of online storage devices. A bit like uploading data to a forum, but more private. My boss's point was that he could, if necessary, acess all his stored data from a different smartphone or computer.
