Best tablet for our caretaker
laserblazer replied to hardtailstar's topic in Mobile Devices & Tablets
Our Site Manager said some of the tablets you can buy from the bloke in the hoody outside the Red Lion, will do him -
Light covering here but seems to be melting.

I mentioned in a previous thread that one of our cleaners had asked me to look at her Advent netbook. The HDD was totally knackered and I told her I could get a replacement on Ebay and, as the COA was rubbed away, I would probably have to get a replacement copy of Windows, so it would cost her in excess of £50. She said it wasn't worth it and next day gave me the netbook. I found an 80GB drive and with the help of a couple of members got XP Home running and now I have a nice little netbook. I gave the cleaner £30. Was I being fair? She seemed happy with the money.

Help needed again to win a fb comp for my scouts :)

Done. I hope Mandy, my ex from Uphill appreciates it -
Sound advice, I just hate the idea that the little darlings might be getting away with something

Something I don't understand with 5.1, I get an Activity report for a word or phrase but when I look at the screen image, there's no trace of that word. In V4 the word would be displayed even if the enter key wasn't pressed.

I've disabled the touchpads to see if that cures it.

I wasn't aware until I just taxed the minibus that the NHS keeps a database for organ donations. You can register here. http://www.organdonation.nhs.uk/

That could be it. It doesn't exactly answer the problem as described but I think that might be down to the description.

Our Asst Dep Head has been complaining for a week or so that when he is typing, portions of text will randomly change position. Now the Dep Head has said the same has happened to her. When I suggested it was the huge brain waves they generated, the ADH said the same thing happens on his laptop at home. The computers are Toshiba Satellite A200s and I'm wondering if the users might be hitting the CTRL key as they type and activating a shortcut. Has anyone else seen anything similar?

There's a Y6 class researching hurricanes and one of them had found this site LIVE Tracker - Hurricane Tracker

Best of luck to both you and your wife in your new ventures. Have you seen house prices in Hampshire? Lovely place to live though and handy for the ferries. My father was the Entertainment Officer on the Gosport ferry.

I hope this isn't related to the post about eye surgery

I get cracked finger/thumb tips and have had to have antibiotics a couple of times. The doctor recommended Vaseline.

You can if you let them know it's commercial. The guy who runs ours is a parent.

Does your LEA provide any support?

As it happens, we use prm greentech to take our hardware and they have said they can take the lamps as well.

Probably been discussed before but how do you dispose of them. I take ours to the local tip where they have a facility for fluorescent and halogen lamps.

I don't think your household policy will cover it. I've got around 40 fence panels and it's happened a lot to me. First thing I try is to get the stump out of the concrete. I screw a big eye bolt into the top of the stump and then use a pick axe to lever the stump out. If it comes out then bingo, just get another post and drop it in. If not, then chisel out the concrete on the side facing your property and get godfathers from Travis Perkins plus some ready-mix post concrete. It really isn't that difficult. If I can do it, then anyone can.

Thanks to Michael, I've at long last managed to uninstall the machines that weren't updating and they are now all running 5145.

We don't have XP Home in school. I have run the laptop using XP Pro and our VLK to make sure everything else was ok and the OEM drivers worked. I can get Windows 8 Pro through the LEA for £50 but I question if it's worth it. I have considered Linux but it's for my granddaughter so there might be a support issue! That's interesting. The label is too well stuck on and would come off in a pieces but I'll see if I can find out more. Maybe they'll accept a pic.

I think the drive is physically dead. If I out it in a caddy explorer stalls and it's making some very funny noises.
