Recognition for Colin!!!

AT LAST Colin has had his certificate of recognition for all the hard work he has done with his sledgehammer and make-up kit over the past year. It was so sad that he could not attend the function and be a member of the victorious quiz team. (By the way where is the prize? - we're still waiting)

To work, however. First problem was a relatively new laptop not charging. We considered that it might well be the battery, which was manufactured by LG. The client was advised that he might need a new battery which would cost about £62.00, but if it was possible, he could take it back to his supplier to try a new battery just in case the problem was more serious.

The next problem was trying to download some precious pictures from an old Windows 98 computer on to a memory stick. This was not so straightforward, as he had used some Olympus software, which for some unknown reason placed the pictures deep in an application folder rather than in the normal My Pictures folder. Having found them, it was an easy job. It was recommended that he destroy the hard disc before scrapping the computer - that's where Colin's sledge comes in handy!
