» PC Problems Again!

It’s all so frustrating. I have so much Squidooing I want to do but have had to spend so much time over the last couple of weeks trying to work out what a raft of error messages mean and whether or not I have been hit by yet another Trojan. None of my virus checking [...]

I can’t believe it! I have spent the last couple of weeks learning as much as I can about lens promotion and I guess I must be doing something right!
