If you have access to a basic ink jet printer then it may have a scan option so you could scan in it. I have a mid price Epson printer that does very good scans. Probably better quality then a photograph of a photograph, and quicker !

I recently came across a travel web site called OrangleSmile. It is based in Holland but reviews places all over the world. Here is the "home" page http://www.orangesmile.com/ There is a section on Birmingham, which does have some very amusing comments about the city, possibly written by a...

It could be worse. Somebody here left £20,000 in a safe that was sent away for scrap From BBC web site https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-48774356

How about this for saving things? The day we went decimal in 1971 I asked my girlfriend at the time (who worked in a bank) to bring me home some sealed unused coins (I paid her of course). She brought home a stack of half pennies, pennies and two pennies. I still have them, in their original...

I would NEVER suggest to anyone to run a Registry Cleaner. More likely to do more harm than good (if it deletes the "wrong" item) More advice here on NOT using Registry Cleaners from the people who make Malwarebytes https://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/2015/06/digital-snake-oil/ Another...

GMail is excellent. I have many GMail addresses (about a dozen) and never had a problem with them. >>>We paid for 2 years support Sorry to say it but you sound as though you have signed up to a "scam" support organization. There are a number of these scam organizations who "scare" people with...

That is an amazing photo above. Here is roughly the same view today from Google Maps. Red arrow points to the Canal Keepers cottage.

For those that don't know this Belmont Works building is part of a massive redevelopment of Eastside that has been going on for about 10 years. This web site below gives a great overhead shot of how the area has been redeveloped. https://www.glass-canvas.co.uk/case-studies/eastside-locks/ If...

>>>certain parts of the city centre has become a ghost town especially where the trams are running. I go up a lot taking photos and can verify the city centre is often packed with people. Note I often try to avoid taking photos with people in them so will often wait at a spot till there is...

A clone is a bit by bit copy of one hard to another hard disk, it is when you want to make an exact copy of a hard disk. This is where you may want to replace a small hard disk with a larger hard disk, or maybe move from a hard disk to an SSD. So you DONT want this option. To make a disk image...

I use Macrium Reflect Free to make full disk images of the 6 PCs in my house. I have been using the free version for years and never needed to pay Macrium any money. I think it is a fantastic product. Note it does not produce an ISO (I don think you want an ISO) it produces files in Macrium's...

Maybe not the best time to say I am very happy with my 200 Mbps on Virgin cable in Solihull :)

I guess the obvious things are: 1) Are you connecting to the right Router (yours and not a neighbours). Virgin routers tend to have long complex (but similar looking) default names (which is why I changed the name of mine) and your Chromebook may list them all in "signal strength" order but...
