  3. After having some problems with my laptop, I have been thinking about getting a new one, and when Aldi had a special of a 14" Lenovo with Win11 and Microsoft 365 1 year licence for $299, it seemed too good a bargain to pass by. However I had a couple of problems during the setup, all sorted now.When setting the keyboard options, I couldn't get it to swich from English (America) to English (Australia). I thought, well, it can't be too different, but when I tried to enter an email address to access the Microsoft account, it wouldn't enter the @ symbol, instead entering " . So I tried typing " , and voila, the @ appeared. Then I typed Shift3 and instead of hash, I got the English pound symbol (£). I went into Systems and turned on the onscreen keyboard, where I found that # was on a key that didn't exist on the physical keyboard. It was located to the right of the ] key. I went back to Systems and looked at the language options, and decided to install English (New Zealand). Once that downloaded and installed, I was able to select English (Australia), the keys reverted to their usual functions. Then I went to instal some of my favourite programs/apps. It said the system was in S mode and I couldn't download from outside the Microsoft shop. I had to turn off S mode, but was warned once turned off, it couldn't be turned back on. Stuff MS, I turned it off and downloaded my favourite apps. A rather surreal experience.

  5. There was a comment that said, "He wanted to name it after himself, but Bay of Pigs was taken."
  6. Old joke..... A 70 yo guy goes into a bottle shop to buy a bottle of Scotch. The salesman asks for proof of age. The old man says "Don't I look old enough to drink?" The salesman replies, "I am just checking if you qualify for seniors discount."
  7. I see where Musk is backpedalling on his DOGE savings, saying that the target of $2bn was optimistic, they'll aim for $1 bn to start with and keep $2 bn as the ultimate target.

    Correct Marty.
  14. Multi level ID (code texted to phone) as used by Services Australia(Centrelink) should be sufficient.
  15. The rudeness and arrogance of Republicans. Swearing in of new electees. A Nebraska woman was being sworn in and her husband was with her. Kamala took the oath and shook the woman's hand. She reached out to shake hands with the husband, but he put his hand in his pocket, turned and walked away.
  16. How do you receive your mail? Do you have other shops near you or are you that far in the sticks?

  18. He has not ruled out using the armed forces to take over Greenland and the Panama Canal. "There are Russian ships all over the place. There are Chinese ships all over the place. We're not going to let that happen." "Hamas have 13 days to release the hostages. When I take over all hell will break loose." Tw quotes from a video on tonight's news.

  20. I don't have a radio in the house and the one in the car doesn't work. I don't listen to any radio. I have an indoor TV antenna which usually drops out on Channel 2. Most of my TV comes through Foxtel. The few programs I watch on ABC are streamed on iView on my laptop. Mostly UK programs you guys wouldn't watch.
