I'm sorry mac about the computer. I have had that and similar experiences with these things.
thanks - I've found my other Windows 7 computer is WAY more reliable but I'm stuck with this for a couple more months 'til I get home 'cos I'm too wary of possible problems when changing from Vista to W7! It's supposed to be straightforward - yeah, right!
And glad that you found some resonance in what I wrote. Since the 'coincidences' happened to you (
included me closely), then you know that they were too perfect not to have been orchstrated.
Yes I've been fighting that conclusion without success. I'd have to be pig-headed in the extreme to reject it - and even I am not that pig-headed.
Never too old to learn, eh? Well maybe I will one day!
