Thanks Chrissie, I think if I take the jump and buy one I am going to be back on here screaming HELP!!!! Gloria x

My sons lap top is in my bedroom. He says I can use it if I want, but I'm a bit afraid of it. Mainly because it is his and not mine, but I would love to try it. Deanna X

Jenny Have you found one of them as well then! Clever .... that is

Hello everyone :0) I've got a laptop which has 6 USB ports and a DVD/CD writer... it also weighs as much as a small car! lol xx

OK Paul. Clever Dick. Lol. Jenny x

Hi Paul Trust you to go all technical LOL:)) I meant that we have a router connected to the main PC and a card thingy sticking out of the laptop. If we buy a new laptop with wireless in it, we shall need a new type of router won't we? I cant stick the one we have in my laptop as it is in the main PC. Hows that for technical LOL:)) Chrissie

How many photos you can fit on a CD is directly proportional to the quality of the picture and therefore how big each file is - on top resulation the pics that my camera takes are about 1.5mb. You can fit 700mb on a stanrard CD - I'll leave you to do the maths :) Chrissie - you don't NEED to buy a new router, if you already have one, you can plug the laptop into it if it has a standard ethernet LAN port - wireless is just better :) Paul (ps Jenny - PCMCIA actually :p)

Hi Gloria Hubby says that you should easily get 200 photos on 1 CD. Chrissie x

I,ve got a Toshiba Satellite,and it does most things needed.Regarding a 'Route-er' from the way you girls are talking,I think 'Router' is more in you minds. Hal.:o))>.

Thanks Daisy and Jenny, We have loads of photos on , there must be a couple of hundred, how many cd's am I going to need to take that lot? I am a complete numpty at this sort of technology. Gloria x

Gloria, its easy peasy. Just get blank CD's and transfer your photo's onto the CD. Then when you get your Laptop, insert CD and transfer onto the laptop. If I can do it, I am sure you can. Will talk you through it, when you get yours. Jenny. x

Gloria I'm a total technophobe so I got my son to copy everything across to my laptop when I got it in January. Apparently it's easy and I probably ought to make and effort to understand pcs before he disappears to God knows where on his gap year! Daisy

Whilst you are on the topic of Laptops, if I got one could I download all the stuff I have on my old PC onto it. I have loads of photos, would it take them, or would it take forever to download them. Sorry if this sounds a simple question but I don't want to get one and then find out all my other stuff is stuck! Gloria x

Definitely Jenny. It's such fun! Daisy

Must admit, I would rather have a go at 'Pole' Dancing. Well I do have long legs. Lol. Jenny x

I agree Paul and we are thinking of buying a new laptop but we shall have to buy a new type of router then won't we?

Is that what they call lap dancing LOL:))

Jenny, is now trying to picture Daisy strutting her stuff on her laptop. Lol. Jenny x

Can do anything on my laptop - especially if I close the lid! lol Daisy

Paul, I presume you are talking about your PCI Card? Jenny x
