Happy New Year Winnie...hope your night wasn't too stressful?
"We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential." - Ellen Goodman

Happy New Year to all, and to 0800xford, who is so helpful in the Computing threads.
My resolution is to learn even more about the innards of my PC and to stop saving all the cast-off cords from past PCs just in case they might come in handy one day - they never do!

heh, cool. the first step is to have 2 computers, so when you break one you can use the other to find out how to fix it...

Very True, how often one is looking for another computer to check out or download or keep tabs on latest emails, messages etc etc....
Everyone, please have a great year no matter how one sees it....

the best help is self help, resolving to learn more about a tool you use regularly makes a lot of sense.
eg keep it CLEAN, vacuum the dust from the case fans, remove any dead or dying rodents too...

Happy New Year, valentino - always worth a peek to see what you're posting :)
and if everything fails get in contact with your local transition towns gardening group and become a member in a community garden - or even join ooooby :)

uli - thanks! You have provided some excellent links which I've already gleaned some knowledge from. Could you start a new thread on the topic of'apartment gardening' or similar & repost the links so that more folks could gain from the topic as I think it would benefit many who may not look into this thread. I have heirloom cherry & beefsteak tomatoes, pumpkin and a variety of herbs growing well in my limited garden space & have a share (thankfully) in my mother's garden with potatoes, zuchinni, scallopini, broccoli & lettuce all doing well at the moment.

A short time ago Mitre10 had easy-interlocking kitsets for small raised garden beds.
