We were recently fascinated to see the current status of all browsers, devices, & device operating systems currently being used on the internet. Remember that "browsers" are the "programs" (nowadays reffered to as "apps") we use to "browse" the internet. Open the picture to find out where your device fits in..

We've all been frustrated when our laptop seems to have got out of the wrong side of it's bed, & takes far longer than it used to, completing the usual tasks. Although this page is aimed at the PC Laptop's in the group, if you use an iPad, or iPhone we also have a few ideas to help you if things are not going well. Open the picture to find out how to clean out your PC laptop..

There's always kids who get new toys for Christmas & within a few hours they have been destroyed, simply because nobody wastes time reading instructions! Peter guides us through the very first steps, so we don't break our toys when we first get them. Open the image to see more..

If you're wise you will have given up driving, so need the Edinburgh Bus App on your Smartphone.

There's no reason to buy newspapers or magazines anymore. As a member of the Edinburgh Library you can now access them as soon as they are published, totally free! Sadly the app only functions on mobile devices, & they don't include laptops on that list, so laptops & desktop computers are forced to use the library website.

We've all heard of "hacking" & other dangers on the web, whilst it's SO easy to fall into the capitalist trap with adverts hidden everywhere. I doubt any of us are in much danger of being hacked as we have little worth stealing on our devices, but we all take risks whenever we go on the web. Here are a few steps we can, & should, take to minimise risks & keep ourselves safe.

The picture will take you to the page..

(NB: All images are merely to use up space until you come up with some ideas on what you want here! In case anyone is interested, the image above was taken from "The Book Of Kells" which was written by the monks of Iona, but finished on the Island of Kells, just off the Irish coast in c384 AD, once the monks were either killed or chased from Iona by the Vikings)

This website isn't on Google as we don't "play their game" so you need to follow a link, or know the adress, to get here. Therefore although it's on the web, it's not visited by anyone outside the group. That makes it more or less private to you, the group.

We have created a load of rubbish just to fill the spaces, but this is your website so we need to know what you want to put on it. It doesn't matter at all if your ideas are rubbish. Most website ideas are, but there's a thought behind every idea, so we will look at it & hopefully figure out "where you're coming from". If it's a poor idea, we'll tell you so, nicely, honest!

If you have an email App installed, you can open the picture to tell us what to put on here Please do!..

Clicking on this line will take you to Joe's page, & whatever recipes he posts.

Our "infamous" Robert knows quite a bit about the history of the area, so check out his page (by clicking on the picture). This photo is off Robert, during a Zoom meeting, & he has given us permission to let everyone see it!

Robert's page will open in a different window, so when you close it you will be back here!

We may not like it but we are all getting older. You probably have a smartphone, Android or Apple. That can actually help us cope, a lot more than we realise. Open the picture to see some ideas..

Tim bravely offered to post some things especially for all Apple users, with iPads, iPhones or Apple computers. Watch this space!

We meet in Craigmillar every week so Dave put together some local history for us. This first section focuses on Little France Park & The Wauchope story. The image will open the page..
