My Win7 machine took a serious nose dive at the weekend so I'm having to use my iPad for internet stuff - until my Son in Law is back home and available to collect and fix my machine shocked

As I hate typing on iPads my postings at GB and elsewhere are going to be pretty brief for a while frown

Hi Mad, I moved your post over to Mixed Bag, since you were not asking for technical help from GameBoomers (thank goodness for your son-in-law)!

I am really sorry to hear about your Windows 7 bombing out on you and I know how disruptive and disconcerting it can be when the computer suddenly falls ill.

You will be missed. Stop in when you can, and I hope things will be running smoothly again very soon. hearts

Hopefully it's not a huge problem and he can fix your Win7 computer for you, Mad.

I think I would need an arrangement like this to type into an iPad properly

I have a logitech K780 keyboard that you can use to type on phone, tablet and computer. I love it!

I hope you figure out a way to keep up your posts and that your SIL can get your computer up and running quickly!

Thanks for the good wishes, folks smile

And, Jenny100, that old style "clickety" keyboard is what I still use. Because I've never found one that I like as much.
AND I have a brand new spare of the same type.

Same with my mouse. I still use the old style that has a rollerball inside. And I have TWO brand new spares of that lol

Fortunately,my KVM is able to handle both my old and new gadgets alike thumbsup

Thanks goodness Mad, but is he also going to hook you up with a Windows 10 machine or have you decided against that?

My Son in Law works full time at a demanding job, so I need to say how much I appreciate the time he is willing to put in - building and where necessary repairing my machines.
And he refuses to accept any payment whatsoever for his labour.
(So I have to find other ways to repay him 🏆!!)

Anyway, after the "blue screen of death" experience I reported - and as soon he was available to come and collect my Win7 - he started on a diagnosis and quite quickly found the graphics card had failed. So he's fitted a temp. until I get to buy a good replacement.

Then my C: Drive ALSO failed and he had to put another in and re-build that shocked
(Thankfully, because of the backing up I regularly do, he says I will have only lost a very small amount of data. Which was SUCH good news yes)

Whilst he's got my machine, he's also fitting a caddy which will enable me to try out a reduced (?) version of Win10 - just for email and browsing - making a kind of "mini" dual boot system with some limited file sharing - to FORCE me into Win10 territory !!
(He scoffs at my "lack of enthusiasm" for embracing progress lol)

I think he'll be restoring email facilities next.
And after that I don't know ....

But it's all sounding pretty darn good to me yay

I agree! GreyFuss was also forced into Windows 10 after a hard drive failure, but has found out it's pretty similar to Windows 7 and not nearly as bad as he thought it would be!

Oh, I've not been forced into trying a bit of Win10 because my Win7 got "wrecked".
Nothing of the sort. It isn't wrecked. And I'm quite sure it will be fine again shortly.
(As is my WinXP and Win98.)

I'm merely being "encouraged" to try something new - whether I have any desire to or not !! laugh

But I'm certainly not "dying to try it out".
I'm just allowing myself to give it some small consideration crazy

Yahoo !! Got my computer back yesterday !! And with its snazzy little "Win10 Caddy" fitted, too bravo

So now I'll start to find out what I might have lost due to the breakdown - and ALSO get myself geared up to peaking at Win10 at some point.
[I got a crash course on the Win10 switch procedure yesterday so hopefully I will remember what to do scared]

Anyway. It is just SO lovely to have my machine back and be able give the old iPad a well deserved rest bravo
