I got severe arthritis in my knee when I first joined GN. Seriously,I had to go to local emergency department where they took x-rays,tutted and gave me an injection that I think was diclofenac and something that was very relaxing.(I felt great) "Artrihris" mysteriously disapeared when I stopped useing DH's older and heavier laptop and reverted to my netbook. I'm going to check out smaller laptops when I'm next in UK..

Hi soop sorry didn't miss you as I have been off too!

When I first got a laptop my typing went to pot but since my DiL bought me a stand from Ikea it has made all the difference and I would recommend them to everyone. They cost about £3.50! A friend was having wrist problems from her laptop and is better since she got one of these. They make the laptop more like a normal keyboard.

dustyangel Isn't technology grand? I started off this morning cursing the laptop for not responding. I was still typing merrily away on the defunct keyboard blush Pleased with my efforts so far. Am navigating through unchartered [for me] territory.

Hello Soop, I'm glad you're back. I've got a little netbook that drives me mad because it'so slow,but it can sit on my lap while I catch up with everyone. I just lost everything and relised that it was because I'd been tapping aong to the radioblush

Lovely to see you here with us again, soop...I can picture you bent over your new laptop pounding away/deleting/pounding/muttering. Thank you for your comment on that nasty, horrible 'person' - he will get his just desserts one way or another, I'm sure of that. xxx

Hello Soop, missed your posts. glad you are getting to grips with new laptop. I got a new laptop a few months ago, and its fab, I can browse my GN on my lap while watching telly, and even take it to bed.......
Have have major cat traumas recently, so have been a bit quiet on the forums. Will fill you in later. Glad the little man is doing well give him a little stroke from me.flowers

Top of the morning to you all. At long last I'm back where I feel happiest...with "you lot"...I've missed each and every one of you. Am slowly getting used to the new laptop. It certainly is very smart. Mr soop treated me to it. No way will it get the better of me. I need contact with Gransnet. You lot make me HAPPY grin

I'm delighted to hear that the Edinburgh gransmeet was so successful. I'd have loved to have been able to join you. The west coast of bonnie Scotland is a bit off the beaten track. I have a date with Bags to look forward to smile

Thanks for asking about Rory. He did have a couple of off-colour days. I was very concerned, imagined the worst...as you do. Anyway, he rallied and is in fine fettle.

I understand that Marelli's daughter had a frightful encounter with a mugger. Bags kept me updated. Such a relief to hear that the awful man responsible for the damage done, has been arrested.

The house is clean enough [thanks to loss of computer]. I intend sifting through what's what with you all. Bear with me. I'm very slow at the mo'. Afraid of hitting the wrong key and losing contact with you again.

Hope the laptop performs to expectations!

Oldgreymare Sun 12-May-13 10:32:29

Great news, Soop good luck with the laptop! I stayed with my sister recently and just couldn't get to grips with her laptop so it was 'cold turkey' for a few days smile.
