Hi from me too

I am new also and I can say you have joined the most incredable site, the people are so helpful and friendly and funny and will always point you in the right direction if you get lost.

Kind people

I turned off the wireless
I put disk in and ran it
oh I thought its working
the image appeared on screen
wow I thought this is happening
Then tried to search for a name I knew (I was getting really excited- dosent take a lot ;D)

but alas it came at me with a ¨cannot find the database¨message
so it loaded the graphics but not the most important part the names!!!!! :'(

Never mind I thought at least I get to see my nice young man ;)

Thank you for your help

Roger Hi

I´ve got AVG, Spyware and Malware  just been to security centre and ohhhhh dear me its like being in the tardis :-\

I am computer challenged :o
I just switch on and just do what I need to do (yes I know I am learning how to do different things for myself) I´m not as young as I use to be and it gets more difficult with age :( the brain gets a little confussed
I have a very nice young man who deals with the techi side of things I think I will take it to him so I dont mess things up.
thanks
Polly
