Had to call MS to activate it manually, bloody hell talk about a mission, I think I would have gotten more sense talking to my dog :D She asked the usual questions, to which I replied, she then asked why it was being reinstalled -- Errrrrrrr, just explained that the HDD had a total failure and all Programs, OS etc were being reinstalled back on the same PC. Ended up having to tell her three times why it was being reinstalled -- they obviously dont listen - I felt like saying "I've already told you three ****** times" - MS, get some help desk people that understand English. :groan: |

More recently, Oracle completely gave up on the whole thing. :pf1mobmini: |

Have you taught your dog to sing yet? |

Not sure as I am really not interested in the cloud but will do some investigating. |
