An apology

I am duty bound to offer an apology to all readers for the lack of posts yesterday and today. It would seem that I have been subjected to the type of attack suffered by Ian Parker Joseph a few weeks ago, except in my case the attack implanted a 'scam MS programme', under the pretext of being a free firewall service, one which completely blocked every file and programme on my system, preventing access.

Being unable to remove this in 'safe mode' - and not having any IT knowledge other than how to use the damn thing - I resorted to returning the lap top to the manufacturers original "factory" settings. Coupled with being out all day it has meant posting has been light. I intend spending this evening restoring those programmes I was unable to save, consequently I bid all a very early good night and will return to normal output the morrow.

Mind you, the upside of all this is that I'm extremely pleased to have upset someone - and yes, I know who sent it - although I refuse to 'state' the source............
