My brain hurts

Hello all........afraid me and new(-ish) laptop are not getting on at all well. This new-fangled Schminternet is a mystery, and as for that girl Jill Bates and her Microswot.........
If you need to reach me relatively quickly (or at least get a faster response than the usual two weeks and a note in the sugar-bowl), could you please store this subsidiary e-mail address, and use that instead of (or preferably as well as), the usual?
This will mean that I can access it at work (shhhhh......) and reply straightaway (or at least less slowly than at present....
.....errrmmmm......).
Thankyou SO much........
PS Aren't the keyboards on laptops wonderful? Just like electric typewriters.....my speed is now up to almost 4.5 w.p.m.

Almost makes you wish for a return to spongy rubber keyboards like the Sinclair Spectrum had. Those were the days.....

Yes, I had a ZX80 and it was wonderful.
Memory slightly smaller than that of a fruit-fly.
But what I really meant was that I need a flalt, electric-typewriter type keyboard rather than the sloped models usually available.
Mrs J, who is a touch-typist, says that these are ideal for three-fingered exponents such as myself.

'O/T' on a post nowadays sems to have little relevance to the end result........and, yes,I take some personal responsibility for this.
But not all THAT much: I'm hardly the worst offender here....
......quiet afternoon, eh?

VERY, VERY, O/T: OK WG????
