Hi again Jazzy and Rusty,

Just back from town - took advantage of 'relatively' cooler weather (temporarily very warm rather than very hot) to shop a bit.

I think i shall just to br patient for everything to be back to normal regarding connection. I stopped at my favourite cafe and had a chat with several of the locals - they all have the same problem re Internet, and one of them said that he knew they were doing repair work at the local exchange. At least it has nothing to do with my own connection.

I do use Firefox via which I access Google - so not much more Norah and Ash could tell me.

BUT patience is not always one of my vertues !!!!

All the articles etc I have read, say that for a sluggish connection, the best browser is Opera.
It has a "turbo" feature which speeds things up.
I have quite a few browsers enabled and Opera is one of them.
