Keeping online

RBS, God, hope you didn't mind that I gave a large hint about your nationality, [tulips] but you must admit that it generated some good-hearted banter between you & the spalpeen from across the border!

As to you other guys,
Yes, I tried Yahoo in an emegency, it looked simple, composed a message, entered their address & mine, preessed "send",......nothing!, looked to see if I had to sign up, but couldn't see anywhere.
I have now unticked "hang up.....etc", thanks, but there's a tale behind that, are you all sitting comfy?, then I'll begin;-

Another disaster, booted-up yesterday, got "You will be asked to provide your user name & password, & presented me with a "Visp" connection Manager, which I had before I had to go over to "Breathe", & it would not let me do otherwise, so, wisely, as it happened, I called in my techno, [the good one]

It took him quite a little while to get it right, after trying several things, he booted up, & got into safe mode, after a couple of minutes, he had sorted it out, I got the Breathe connection manager back, he filled in my details, & it was sorted.
He still didn't know why it reverted like it did, & he is the bees knees, regarding IT, so, all I can hope is that it doesnt go t*ts up again,....it probably will, knowing my luck, but perhaps in another area, there's PLENTY of scope there!!

Thanks, gang!
