No allotment, just a large potager, a small pollytunnel and a lot of clay. A couldn't face digging the whole plot in one go so I've made 2 raised beds each year we've been here. I've slill got room for another 3 beds at least, or maybe chickens. I can vouch for the 5 mins a day weeding comment...

Rex, thanks for the post sounds like good advice. Stive, thanks for the post. FW = Firewire? Any chance of a recommendation as such things are way over my head. ***edit Carbon cloner = http://www.5star-shareware.com/Mac/Util ... c-mac.html ?? You are right safari 3 worked OK with tiger and...

Roger, I've ordered leopard now and amongst lots of other benefits it is about time I had a new avatar. I hope that the upgrade to leopard will be a lot less work than a clean install of Tiger which would, correct me if I'm wrong, mean that I would have to reinstall all the other...

Pete, thanks for the thought. Yep deleted all history and the cache etc. I am pinning all my hopes on leopard now. Andy

Mike, thanks for your post. Removing all my old bookmarks was one of the things nationwide suggested. I did remove Safari 4 and reinstalled safari 3 to no avail. I have now gone back to V4 as V3 was causing a few problems elsewhere eg it would not talk to apple.com's downloads area. I've got...

Roger, I tend to agree. I'll get hold of Leopard and then see what happens. Seems a bit like a sledgehammer to crack a nut but c'est la vie avec les ordinateurs. a bientot Andy

The card reader form the nationwide is not connected to the computer. Your cash card needs to be inserted and your pin number entered. A unique id transaction id from the web page is then entered in to the reader which produces another unique id to be entered on the web. These ids can be used...

Pete, I would not know where to start. I've found the list of installed plug-ins in Safari, but which ones would be suspect? I can't imagine just removing a few at random for fear of causing problems elsewhere. Andy

even if my banking passwords were nicked in some way, without the card reader thingy and my cash card it is impossible to transfer money out of the nationwide. Oh and if the thief is using OSX 10.4 and Safari 4 it might not work anyway. Cheers Andy

Oh Dear Roger, tried the above and still the same problem. I'm not sure what to do next. Perhaps I should buy and install 10.5 then? As there seems to be more support threads with similar issues when Safari 4 is used with Tiger than with leopard. Thanks again - time for a stiff drink - 25 yr...

Tony, point taken. It would take a better man than I (gunga din) to adequately extoll the improved security of the Mac. Accepted what I should have said is that I have seen no evidence of being infected by any virus, trojan, malware etc etc Andy

Paul, I'll second what Russ has said. 4 Years no viruses, no crashes no problems...except for Safari V4 and Nationwide Internet Banking see earlier thread! I'm sure RogerS will be along soon with more of the same advice. Good luck with the MAc I am sure you and your daughter will enjoy it...

Roger, I am on a PC at the moment and firefox IE have no problems talking with the natiowide. I will try and delete safari4 and reload safari3 this evening and see what happens. Intrestingly just before I left the house this morning I tried to access the Apple download site to investigate...

Bob, enjoy your holiday. I bet it is still warm and dry where you are. The only reason the missus wants the door replaced is it is north facing in a very dark corridor. She wants some natural light. Cheers Andy

Bob, nice, I like the idea of the window opening at the top too. I am also in France would you like to come and stay? I've plenty of jobs like that too.:wink: Yep those pin hinges are dreadful. I am in the process of sourcing a new front door and am wondering whether I can fit onto the...

Roger I cannot see any proxy server options in the Java Preferences window. In the Network preferences proxy window I have this Cheers Andy

Pete, interestingly when I use the Nationwide's checking service it thinks I have the following It also says that Firefox 3 is supported and I have the same problems there too. This is waht they detect when I log in from firefox I am going to the inlaws later so will try to access the...

Roger, I do not think my problem relates to the experiences of those on the moneysavingexpert thread. I've been able to access the banking facility without issue. I've also tried at least half a dozen times at different times of the day. It is only the transaction stage that freezes. Safari...

Roger, thanks for all the suggestions. The kids are back from school now so I can't try until they've gone to bed. I'll let you know. Cheers Andy

Roger I've found the firewall and switched it off - re loaded MAc and router and tried again - no joy. Gidon, thanks for the suggestion. Just tried a new network, reloaded mac and router and tried again no joy ](*,) The bar at the foot of the window that states "waiting for...
