Hi Steve, glad to see you got your pension problems straightened out. Must be a load off your mind.
Three weeks ago my old HP laptop died. I got an Acer Aspire 15. 8 gigs of RAM and a 1 TB hard drive and i5 processor. Course it's got Win 8.1 but I'm getting use to it. I don't use that stupid start page much just run things from my desktop. Compared to my old machine this thing is a hot rod. Haven't gotten around to setting up SH3 yet as this thing doesn't have a DVD drive. I'll be getting a digital download but am looking forward to MFM and other stuff I could never use.
Merry Christmas.
