It's been a good day, apart from the weather (March gales in September?  Thinking.gif  )

Yes, I was dragged by the ear, screaming and kicking in protest, into the Apple Store in Solihull and told I was not coming out until I'd decided what I want. It took a long time and a very patient "Specialist" who could not have been more helpful. We thought Tuesday would be a quiet day, but turned out schools there don't go back until Wednesday. Ho hum!

Anyway, I thought a pair of reasonable external speakers for the Mac, nothing too grand but got "I'm not buying you speakers...."

In the end we came out with a bag that contained a 16GB iPad AND an Apple TV..... He didn't sell them to us. We sold them to ourselves.

Today, however, while trying to connect the iPad to the Netgear I managed to "lose" the internet. Finally found it down the back of the settee/couch biggrin.gif

Actually (and whisper this!) I'd accidentally made the Netgear wifi invisible and it took a couple of hours and an ethernet cable to help me realise what I'd done rolleyes.gif

It's really a terrible feeling when your instinct goes "Ask TS" and your brain responds "Without the Internet?"

So thanks for your good wishes and I look forward to many more years irritating you with terrible jokes (like the one you'll find shortly in the Joke thread) and, hopefully, occasionally being a little bit of use smile.gif

Off now, to spend rest of evening with The Giver!

Well, by my time, I'm still on the same day, but you're more than likely asleep after celebrating!

Happy Birthday Neil!!! cheer.gif salute.gif thumbup.gif notworthy.gif    

Thanks for all you do here at TS, glad you got your internet back!

Now let me see, where did I put that gosh-darned cross-over cable...
