[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5314465, member: 16069"] No, I tried and couldn't figure it out, I may have to admit here that I am one of the least technical people you are ever likely to meet (talk to) in your life- to the point that I have no mobile phone because I simply cannot fathom how to work them (take a moment to digest that statement- it is actually true). So instead I just made them up on a piece of paper, I do lots of things on paper... with a pen- I have a two laptops (one Mac, one PC) and a desktop PC at home/work. The desktop I use all the time- the laptop PC I have not switched on for... two years maybe, I can't remember any of my logins/passwords et al. The Mac... oh that's a good one, I only pretend to use it at work- put things on a memory stick and go and do the work at home on the desktop and then transfer it back onto the Mac. I've been getting away with that dodge for ten years- I just plain don't understand Macs. I am a source of much humour to my fellow lecturers, for instance I downloaded something yesterday while at work and then had to get technical support to tell me again where it was likely to be and yes they've told me a hundred times but everytime I hear the sunshine noise when my Mac awakes it effectively blanks my memory. Now books or films, I can quote chunks of poetry, prose, lines from films, strangely I can reel off the first 30 or so elements of the periodic table and I hate chemistry...
