Good morning (?).
I'm having trouble connecting my main comptrer to the internet. All my data is there, including today's puzzle. I'm using an old laptop (with which, I'm not at all familiar). I'm going off line now and will be contacting BT boffins to see if they can resolve my problem. Therefore I will not see any reply fir the time being.

Best wishes

J
