Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY

Tried the numbers suggested. The Gateway failed although the cable and IP address passed. I even tried ratcheting the Gateway up in the last group from 1-- to 10- through to 14- without any success. The top and bottom of it is that I really don't know the logic of it all, so I'm just blundering away...

And I thought it was just me. Mrs P's cheapo phone, (which I'm not allowed to touch) has a 'Record' option on the desk top. But having done a bit of recording there is nothing on the phone or in the manual to tell you how to listen to it. All very confusing.
