    The fact that of 8GB Installed Physical Memory there is only 4.52GB available suggests that you are using the on-board graphics rather than having a dedicated graphics card. When using on-board graphics the RAM is shared between the system and the graphics, getting towards 50/50 in your case...

    Does anyone know where this was?

    The water tower shown in the photo is possibly the rectangular structure I've coloured red (marked W before I painted it!)

    Long shot but have you tried a different ethernet cable? I've recently been caught out by a faulty cable (see post #86) and ethernet cables do have a habit of losing connections in the plug.

    I think it is more likely that wireless, in the context of 'Manufacturers of buttons, hooks and eyes, hairpins and wireless accessories' referred to items being made without wire rather than anything to do with what we now call radios. I suspect that the item shown in post #1 may have been...
