  I have also just become a pensioner but I will never ever in a million years play the age card. I think it makes us sound pathetic and enfeebled, but studies like the Pew Institute reports demonstrate that most baby boomers are very adept silver surfers who are very accomplished online. ;)

  timethief; Thanks very much for all your efforts. I am pleased to say that, by trying every trick that I know, and some that I don’t, I did manage to ‘crack it’!
  With regard to your last post, sounding pathetic and enfeebled was PRECISELY my intention!!!

  I refuse to think of you as pathetic and enfeebled. Playing the age card with me is more likely to result in being ignored than not referring to age is. That said – hooray! I love happy endings. :)
