    QUIZ: Which classic western movie star are you?

    A bit of nonsense for boredom relief. If you're at work MK beware, there are 30 questions. I came out as Randolph Scott which was kind of cool. So get out your white hat, saddle up and off you go...

    Microsoft Office v the free stuff

    My 2003 version of Office has finally reached the point where I can't install it on my Windows 10 laptop as it's been installed on far too many other laptops over the years. So.......what to do, buy a recent edition of Office or have a look at free packages. I've chosen the latter option and...

    Laptops

    I'm after a little bit of help, and was hoping someone amongst us knows more about laptops than me. I'm looking to get one that will be suitable for web surfing, playing the odd game (FM 2015), storing music and photos, that can have Microsoft Office installed and isn't too expensive. Ideally...

    Did anyone pick up on his quotes in respect of the new Spurs shop opening in Southend high street? “It does surprise me they’re opening a store here as their supporters locally seem to be few and far between." “I think it’ll be a good addition to the High Street, but I...

    Folks, Need a bit of advice on Operating Systems - my Windows 8 totally died, even the partition on my HD where the backup reinstall copy was, so I installed Ubuntu. Now it seems pretty good, epecially with the built in software, but trouble is it runs so slowly as I don't think my laptop is...
