| If by "ruthless" you mean "won't take no for an answer", this is just women taking the easy option. In case you haven't noticed, women go to great lengths to avoid the possibility of having been rejected. The nice guy who takes no for an answer leaves them in a limbo, requiring a... |

| Are any of these available free? I've been lead to believe thare are lots of old programs and films available on the web, free of charge, but my rearches so far have revealed only promises to follow, if only I'll endure the endless spiel which introduces them. I've noticed this with a lot of free of... |

| ^ :scratch: You mean here, on WP? But there are no language or translation options, enforced or otherwise - it sounds more like something selected on your browser. Quite possibly, as I'm using a library's intranet. Can't imagine why you think WP is english only, though; anything you can get on a re... |

| Bad news, people; I used to enjoy Sudoku at level 14/15, but of late I've failed to complete too many of them, and have geared down to level 12/13, and still get beaten occasionally. It'll come to you all! |

| Am I the only one who detests Win 11? I really don't want these eternal unasked for pop-ups, making my decisions for me. I was happiest with Win 98 along with Partition Magic (does Win 11 even allow for partitioning?) which I coud set up to work the way I wanterd to. I'm aware people are inclined to... |

| Great; now I'm having to do this in French, no matter how often I set it to English, if the option exists, which seems to become less frequent the longer I stay here. I'll admit I'm impressed by the quality of the instant translations that now seem to be in vogue, but would you please leave us witht... |

They seem to have concluded that the human brain is something other than hard wired, but if such a brain was woken up at exactly the same time as it was yesterday, and subject to the same... |

| Thanks Fenn, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't an "add keyboard" option (but I'll have another look). It may be due to hacking, as I've been subjected to a lot of that recently, though I wonder that anyone capable of denying me access to the web (be any of various means; it's a new adventur... |

| I bought a Win 11 laptop which has an AZERTY keyboard, but it functions like a QUERTY. I looked through the tools to find out how to swap it, but could find nothing. Checking on the web, I found how it's usually done but it doesn't work on my machine. I then bought a keyboard and mouse package, also... |
