My almost total lack of knowledge and interest in all thing IT meant that that I understood almost nothing that Alistair put in his last post.....😁

It's not that I'm so old that it has passed me by (late 50's), I just never been remotely interested in it. I can do enough to get by, just, but as absolutely everything is now on a computer or smart phone I find I'm becoming more and more annoyed/frustrated by the modern world.
I did make the leap to apple pay during the first lockdown and seeing as it's almost impossible to use cash anymore I can get by.
As has been said, I fully expect 'it' to all go very badly wrong before too much longer, we, the general public are pretty vulnerable and useless nowadays as we're so reliant on the 'modern world'.

We've had virgin and NTLworld as long as we've had the internet, Our NTL email address just disappeared the other year never to be seen again, nothing we or they could do could get it back. Very frustrating..........

Off grid is the way forward...........
