There's nothing quite as boring as watching an update update on your PC, I hate to think how many hours it must take those without a fast connection. Then it tells you you have to restart! LOL  Or the most annoying bit is when it automatically restarts your PC when you're right in the middle of working with no warning! Yell

Firefox updated here a few days ago, I restarted it as it said and then it updated again! LOL I wondered why it wouldn't load in then I found the reason why! Yell

I have experienced Firefox dropping the connection Lyn G for no apparent reason, how about you? Mind you I think it's better than the 'other' lot!

Someone at school clicked to install updates on the computer, and it took forever because the school system doesn't keep the updates.

 Anyways, our first programming contest is next week. :) 

 How is everyone doing?

Hello Chili, great to see you here.

How's school other than your programming contest.

I'm actually signing off now, but will read your answer tomorrow.

Again, it's great to see you.

I took a walk with Denzil around the neighborhood last Sunday and took a few pics.  If you'd like to see my neighborhood, here it is:

There's a park near the house and that's where most of the pics were taken.  As you can see, it's not very English looking, so now you'll understand why I get homesick for England.  lol

Thanks for the tour around your neighborhood Ruth.  Nice blue skies, empty roads and wide too. Enjoyed your Apache landscape ones too. Not far from Overton, where you took your station sign photo, is Whitchurch which has an American looking neighborhood in one part, though the house prices are more typically English !

The village of Overton is about a mile south of the station you stopped at, then a few  minutes later, you would have gone through Whitchurch station. Spent a lot of time looking at properties around there but the ones we liked were 1) hardly ever on the market, or 2) horrendously expensive; at least £400,000 then upwards.
