    Computer help

    I`ve downloaded the Kodi app onto my pc but it won`t load. I`m running windows 10 fully up-to-date. I can load Kodi on my laptop but on such a small screen 11 inch it`s hardly worthwhile watching. My laptop is running w11, could it be that Kodi won`t run on w10? TIA

    Hybrid & electric cars

    Has anyone got a fully electric car? I`ve got my eye on a couple, VW ID3 or Hyundai Kona. It all seems a bit complicated with different cables, which charging station to use etc. Hopefully it`s not as scary as that !!

    Windows 10

    I have those games Mort, it`s just a case of transferring them to my laptop which has a smaller usb port than a desktop.

    Windows 10

    I do have a backup of W7 games to W10. Unfortunately it`s on a full sized usb & my laptop takes the small size (usb3.1 ? ) I will figure it out eventually, love a challenge. Am i right in thinking there is a usb with full size on one end & a small size on the other end?

    Windows 10

    I have d/l W11 onto my laptop & the first problem i`ve noticed is, my W7 games that i imported onto W10 have disappeared. I play these games ( chess titans, hearts. etc ) & i would like to get them onto W11. Anyone got a solution?

    Windows 10

    I have a laptop that i rarely use but it is compatible for W11, so i`m now in the process of downloading it. 2 hours later & it still hasn`t finished. Patience is a virtue & she was a really nice girl. ;)

    Windows 10

    I have just done a pc health check for windows 11 & my pc is not compatible. It seems my cpu (amd a85500 ) failed the test, so it seems i shall be running W10 for some time.

    Write it down

    I think memory sticks & cards can become corrupt if you don`t unmount them before removing from pc.

    Aid/Advice for Beginners

    My late Brother died early 70`s & i believe his two kids were put into Birmingham fostering service. I`m trying to find info about them but there are so many fostering services in Brum & it`s very confusing. Can anyone tell me the best way to get this info or will it be confidential. ? Thanks.

    Cuban Missile Crisis 1962

    I was in Germany when the Cuban crisis developed. We were put on standby & it is my opinion that when the Russians heard that 68 Sqn were geared up & ready to go, they immediately retreated back to barracks & their beloved Vodka. Nostrovia !

    School uniform

    No school uniforms at Slade road secondary & although i played cricket for the school there was no kit for that either. As for Viv forking out £2.14.6p for a skirt, That was a weeks wage for me as a wages clerk in 58/59.

    What do you watch on tv nowadays ?

    Beats me how anyone can get excited over watching people on bikes. It`s akin to watching paint dry. Give me tiddly winks any day !

    Hobbies 2021

    Pete, the fact it was almost buried in a tractor tread & when my mrs dug it out strap broken & battery dead i didn`t think much about it but i did advertise in the local shops & the wife's hairdresser said she would put it on facebook that was probably better than handing it in to the police...
