  1. My wife talks to our daughter and grandweans on Skype every other day. Occasionally ,I want to join in using another computer on the same router. I cannot find a way to do this. Are there any experts who can advise me. Words of of one syllable please.

  2. I have an HP. It is VERY expesive on ink. Since I only use it intermittently. the cartridges, dry out in just under a month and a new black costs £12 from a discounter. Also, it counts the pages and refuses to work even though there is plenty of ink left. I advise you to avoid HP.

  3. If you have time, hire a car and go to Fujeira on the indian ocean coast , or to R'as al Khaima in the north. They are both less developed and traces of the old Gulf are still plentiful. Both are a day trip from Dubai.

  4. My wife of over 30 years still uses her own name in Thailand, including her ID and passport. She uses my surname in Scotland and on her UK passport.

    2 years ago we registered our marriage in Chiangmai using our marriage certificate from Scotland as proof. At the time she enquired as to changing her name and title on her ID and passport and was told that it was not necessary.

    As an aside, in Scotland it is still common to see a recent gravestone bearing different names, eg. "James Maclachlan and also his spouse, Janet MacWhirter"

  5. I use an Acer laptop. I have been using Skype to keep in touch with Thai relativeseither the for approx 4 years with no problems. 2 days ago the Skype started to refuse to connec. I can select a contact (which the highlights) but the call button (neither video nor telephone) highlight as it used to and clicking on it has no effect. Similarly, I can select a telephone number vwith the keaypad but cannot initiate the call. In coming calls are working as before.

    I have tried uninstallang and reinatalling the latest version of Skyke with no effect.

    Can any computer expert advise me?
