Hopefully things will get better with it, so that data won't be lost...
You were lucky, Carol. When I went laptop shopping, I was told at Dick Smith that you couldn't buy a computer with W7 on it anymore. Drat...

We've had passing thunderstorms this afternoon. There's a lot of thunder around now, but the rain is a bit intermittent.Big dog is terrified and being pathetic. Big cat is hiding in son's room. Small dog is pretending to be frightened for sympathy purposes, and small cat is nowhere to be seen because of dogs inside...

Clear as anything here...Little clouds....Tempted to go read outside in the dark with my kindle and the airchair..lol
Ah yes, safe! i.e. Close by, preferably on a lap. Our GSD thinks that would be a good idea. 40kg suggests it wouldn't be!

I emailed our friends too, they are safe and sound but left their kids with a babysitter while they attend a conference in London. Safe but still a worry..
What a horrible thing to happen. One of my work colleagues is in Paris on holiday at the moment. Hopefully she's fine, but she'll be feeling very nervous and her family must be worried.

Brenda, I saw your lovely smiling face and link to your The Reviewers review for Dangerous Lies on my Facebook feed this morning courtesy of Simon & Schuster.Now you're definitely famous!I 'liked' it :)

I'm on twitter - but only go on once or twice a week - and see that there have been a couple of thousand tweets and just read the last 30 or so and close it down!!!
I'm pretty sure that's not how it is supposed to be done - LOL!!!

Oh thanks Sally - you can tell I'm not a "tweeter";)

I'm another Windows 7 devotee:) What's your D drive? I'm sure I know ..." I just specifically bought a new laptop with Windows 7 - I had 8 and it was terrible and had problems with a few programs/drivers etc that weren't compatible with 8 (and I assume 10) and my version of MYOB wont work with 8 - so 7 it is.
