I hope they can make it. It is amazing how they seemed to have collapsed suddenly.

Mr FG, a new laptop or desktop, go right out there and get the very best, with your tramps, trails through the forests, snow trips, and flowers, ferns and more, your photos deserve, and you do too, the top of the line. I have a Toshiba, but not enough RAM now I am taking photos, Windows 7, OH for an upgrade!!! It has been quite adequate for a few years, but I guess we can all dream.
