Technical Help / Historic book in PDF format.
« on: Friday 27 August 21 18:33 BST (UK)  »
I have in my possession a local historical book which had been scanned by it's owner prior to e mailing to me.
On reading the book I soon become aware that a number of pages hed been missed from being scanned, I subsequently had the missing pages sent to me via  email so completing the book.
My problem is how do I merge the pages missed first time around to be integrated within the book?

Be aware that this took me all of 4hrs to download/install using a 100Mb download link.
So using a laptop use your power brick to ensure no power drops!
First impressions are that this is now a slick operating system very responsive using firefox browser.

Please be aware that although the above update takes minutes (5 in my case) this updates installs a new version of Windows 10 and takes a fair time to fully install. (2hrs 15min in my case)
You have been warned!

Technical Help / Increased security for Firefox users
« on: Wednesday 08 March 17 21:41 GMT (UK)  »
Many of us take it for granted that a site is secure when visiting various websites.
[https:// are by right the most secure]
With the latest update to Firefox (ver 52.0) now checks to see if your website visit is secure.
https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Protect-your-privacy/Insecure-password-warning-in-Firefox/ta-p/27861
The link above shows that the website is not https secure, with an option to leave/enter your username/password.
