Hi Pete
I thought this newsgroup was for 'newusers'. It takes time to get to
know
whets what!
An admonishment worded as such does little to encourage first time
users,
like myself, despite being a reader and user of these groups for over
a
year, to come and ask again.
In any case, most of those who give their time and 'most valued
professional' help for free, say 'Ask away'
So ask away Zepphead and don't worry about the occasional slap on the
wrist. I've had a few. I am sure its not meant to offend, but you
can
understand why some do get annoyed with the same questions being
asked
time after time. Well those annoyed don't have to reply, do they?
Another bit of advice I got(a bit late though) was to be wary of
anything
you may be asked to 'download' etc.
I recently sold my previous computer - I removed the hard disc and
allowed
for the buyer to buy a new one, in the sale price. I kept the HDD -
might
come in use at some time.

to
posts like this, this is an extract from one....

im pretty sure that if you do a restoe there may still be some of
your
data
left on it.
