Best cars for older driversI have a 2008 Skoda Octavia Estate with the 1.9 Diesel engine (the best engine that VW ever made according to my garage man and local cab drivers as they can cover 300,000 miles). It is absolutely relaiable, economical and cheap to insure. Friends with Audi and BMW Estates have changed to a Skoda after trying mine, and been delighted. As with all VW Group cars avoid the 2.0 Diesel and DSC gearbox. I have looked around several times and always come back tothis. If I change it will be to a 2010 version - the last year with the 1.9 engine.ViewDate:

Tablet vs LaptopI have a desktop (which is out of sight under the stairs) with a wireless mouse and keyboard, which plays through the TV. This is used for "Catch-up" TV and backup. My main computer is a laptop. I also use a HP Mini Netbook with a 10" screen to drive a projector for when I give talks. Tablets irritate me - I want a "real" keyboard, not a touchscreen with gestures. And something with USB ports that I can connect devices to (external HardDrive for backup, Printer). i don't need the unnecessary frustrations of using Wireless printers - wht complicate things? -
