I-Pad or Notebook

Hi everyone!
Not exactly following the thread that was started but it is a technical question and going by some of the answers given there are some great techno-heads out there!
I sent an email this morning and when I viewed the message in my sent folder this evening I noticed that the time of sending was shown 0707 this morning. It was never 0707 - it was soon after 8 o'clock so I think my Hotmail clock is an hour behind? The time on my computer is correct - it is only wrong on my Hotmail.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated as I have had a look through options and things without any success. Thanks Gransnetters!

Sbagran the possible answer is that Hotmail is logging emails as GMT. Don`t forget we put our clocks forward one hour at the end of March, so we are now in BST.
The first thing to find out is if it's the computer clock that's wrong or just the hotmail time.
Is the clock at the bottom right corner of the computer screen showing the correct time or is that one hour out as well?
If the computer clock is wrong try this... double click on the time in the bottom right of the screen and go to the time zone tab... make sure it is set to GMT (assuming you are in the UK) and that the option 'automatically adjust for daylight saving changes' is ticked. Then go to the the internet time tab and make sure 'automatically synchronise with an internet time server' is also ticked. Whilst you're there click the synchronise now' button.
If the computer clock is correct and it's just the hotmail time that is wrong take a look at this link which will guide you through changing the settings on your hotmail account:

Apologies for the lengthy reply, let me know if you have any success !!

Again - many apologies for the lengthy reply - I've just re-read your question and you have already said that your computer clock is correct - - duh, sorry
Hope the other link will work for you

Thanks yogagran, just set it to record. Will probably have to watch it twice to get my head around it!

I'll have to record it because the TV sends me to sleep...!

Thanx yogagran ...I watched it ...have a headache now ...noise/high energy/fast pace/gimmicky!!
However ...GoogleChrome Books and clouds ...are definitely not for me ...I'm certainly have no wish to be at the front of cutting edge technology ...and have everything waft away into the ether!
I shall continue to check out netbooks and make sure I've got a good memory stick with me.

Yogagran you are a genius! I went through the link and bingo!
Thank you so much for your help - once again Gransnet saves the day! OK it wasn't that life threatening but we have just moved home and are having to keep emailing the agent with various problems etc (rented through an agent!) and it does look odd if it looks like I emailed at 6am!!!
Really appreciate your help clever clogs! I have trouble knowing what day it is these days and certainly can't spell my own name without looking inside my vest!

I have just read this thread.

You are all amazingly clever!

Doesn't anyone else just ask their son?

Isn't it what they're for?

Who needs to know what a gigabyte is???!!!

Is there such a thing?

gigabyte's are huge helpings of fattening things and so we need to be on the diet thread as well

Glad to be of use sbagran

Well yogagran DH and I watched the programme and sadly don't feel that they did a good job of explaining cloud computing. The presenters really didn't help did they? Just because it's a show about Gadgets, shouldn't mean that they have to show off their 'whacky' personalities. I'm fascinated by what can be done with all the new technology, I just want someone to assume the viewers have a modicum of intelligence and explain new ideas in a straight forward manner.
BTW, we bought a Samsung netbook this morning, upgraded to 2GB and DH has spent all afternoon playing, sorry that's sorting it out.
Thanks for all help.

I am interested in the answer to the original question. If I take my iPad to the USA, a wifi only model, will I be able to use it can one get wifi all over the states. Some hotels here in UK want to charge upwards of £5 a day.

It varies from hotel to hotel. I take my iPad to the States but I always check that the hotel has WiFi and if it's free. All Starbucks have free WiFi though so you can always drink a lot of coffee.

I've just been looking at the hotels we're staying in and it seems as though the WiFi in your rooms has to be paid for [about $15 a day in San Francisco] but it's free in the lobby and in public areas.
There are some great travel forums on Trip Adviser,linked to wherever you are staying, where you can ask questions like that.

I have managed to obtain a bargain - priced hp touch pad, which I am loving. Can anybody tell me how I ask it to print a web page, as there is no tool bar, or control P option unless the keyboard is displayed. I expect I am being thick!

Why don't you "Google" your question - I'm sure that there is an answer somewhere out there.

Solved my queries by accident this morning, touched on the word 'web' and a drop down box appeared including the option to print.
I have never played a computer game before, but downloaded free 'angry birds' and can't leave it alone, even more addictive than Gransnet!

shysal - Angry Birds is one of my secret vices - not so secret any more! One day, on a short train ride, my GSs, who were using their dad's Touchpad, showed me how to play it on my phone. A young man sitting opposite was splitting his sides at the sight of granny competing with a 3- and a 6-year-old. I am currently stuck on level 13 . The phone screen has its limitations.

I love Angry Birds! Have to ration myself too.

I have only heard good about the iPad. A friend of mine bought hers in the States as it was much cheaper as in europe and the UK. Maybe you should look into this before you purchase one.
Have fun with whatever you decide to get.

I love my iPad!! I also have a netbook but it doesn't compare to the iPad. I haven't tried Angry Birds. Is it as addictive as it seems to be?

Try Angry Birds at your peril! You will become hooked. One advantage is that I have less time to snack between meals. I lost 2lb last week!

Can you download audio books on a IPad. The Guardian are offering free downloads of John Le Carre books at the moment, I have a Ipod, but can't really download all the books on that.

Yes, you can download audio books on to the iPad. There's also a great Kindle app, though it is terrifying how quickly you can buy and get a book!

And of course everything syncs, so you get it all on the iPod too, but can choose whether to keep things on there.

Angry Birds - I was quite scornful about it, then thought I'd just try it......hooked!

I love Angry Birds but I'm quite hopeless. I am a sucker for other iPhone/iPad games as well. Irritates the life out of my husband even when I have the sound off.

Just joining in this thread and I love my iPad too. We are Apple converts in a big way , husband now has an Apple Mac and we cannot believe how quickly the Internet works and responds to a light touch!
I had my iPad in July and find it difficult to leave alone. Since then, one son and two friends have bought one and are as enthusiastic.
