  • A few problems I'm still having with my computer and the internet.

    Why do I sometimes need to click twice, and other times only once?

    Sometimes the page is far too big for the screen.

    Occasionally I find that hypertext links don't work, or the site I'm directed to has been changed or updated. This is particularly annoying when I go into Google Blogsearch and find an archived posting, but the current post appears on screen instead.

    Sometimes when I'm signed in to MSN Messenger and click on an email notification pop-up, when I return to my original page the screen freezes.

    Quite frequently audio and video are out of synch, and sound levels and volume vary considerably from file to file.

    I'm not particularly knowledgable about computers and so some of these problems might well be due to my own shortcomings; however I do have a rather old computer and operating system which doesn't help either.

    These are really no more than minor glitches though.

    I don't think that Cornwall is in any way particularly unusual, it's just what the search engine found first.
