I've actualy got a "messing about" PC with 8.1 on, that I often play with during lunch times at work. Trouble is, been working through lunchtimes for the last week or three. Self teaching is good, you certainly learn things, but though I'm not in need of instant self gratification, it's a bit frustrating the time it takes to learn, and then get it sorted, when I idealy want it to "just work". Still, for the price (free of course) I can't complain, and it's not as if I'm doing it for a job, or charging anyone for it. If I was, I'd take paid for advice, and pass the cost on! Thanks for the encoragement.. Dave B.
