Hi Ian, I'd send you a PM to say this, but it would be ironic!
Please encourage people not to PM, but to post publicly. It may help someone else. It also means we all get the benefit of others seeing what we write, correcting it, or adding further comments to it.
I'd have agreed with you but (and there's always a but...)...the last time I became involved in this way was about a year ago when cheaver had a problem with Linux Mint failing to update itself on her laptop, but doing so successfully on her tower machine. We were going through the problem step by step as I could see exactly what was the cause.
A moderator appeared and "suggested" we move to PM as it looked as if we were drawing attention to our shops. Had that person taken the trouble to check it would have been found that although registered as seller+ i had not actually set up a single shop (still haven't in fact, owing to illness). Off we went and completed the job. Several were disappointed as they had been following. The moderator had suggested we were hogging the thread and that most would have been bored...well - there are other threads!
So...suffice it to say that this afternoon I received an email from Pastime to say that the file I had sent her had her Apollo working again. I took about two minutes to find that driver by using my usual search method - a clustering engine. I never ever use Google directly. The use of a clustering engine was the only thing which might have interested others. I find one an essential search tool.
