Thank you all for taking the time to answer my questions. A trip to a PC shop is on my list to do, will take your suggestions with me. I have a second hand, very old, very large PC, IBM 300L, it works OK, but a new one was on the cards anyway, just waited until our plans for Turkey (we were going last year, but due to my husband Dave, having the big C, we had to pospone, but happily he is in remission) were in place. I think a new laptop bought in the UK makes sense. Will I get BBC radio through the internet, I'm on dial up here & can get it although not brill. Thanks again. Elaine
