focus

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Thanks for that, although there's nothing there that I was ignorant of, I simply cannot fathom how to connect to the internet on my phone. Have to admit, however, I've not tried too hard, it might mean I join in with this looking into the phone screen every other minute, malarkey. One of the comments below the explanation summed up my feelings:
Just because I'm not tech savvy, doesn't make me an "e-tard."

To be fair, I don't think the Nokia 2110 supports mobile internet access

My first phone was similar, it was a 1996 Alcatel something or other. With the coming of the digital era, my analogue Alcatel was redundant. A couple of years ago, I met a rather geeky looking, but rather likable young fellow, working in our local post office. His knowledge of phones and computers knows no bounds. I mentioned the Alcatel, he asked if I still had it. On my next visit I took it to show him. He invited me to leave it with him. A week or so later, having momentarily forgotten about the phone, I stopped by the post office. A triumphant grin told me he had got it working. His explanation went over my head, but the up and down of it was, he had managed to come up with a piece of wizardry that now made the analogue phone, digital. The phone shares the same sim card as the Apple 4S, so I tend to use the Alcatel on a limited basis. But, you should see the jaw drop when the phone rings, (it's only got one bell tone, sounds like a loud landline,) I get the huge thing out of my pocket, pull out the aerial and say: "Hello!"

Is this what everyone is wetting their pants over? I saw one in my supermarket car park, the burly image of the driver gave me second thoughts about photographing it. Had to admire the immaculate paint job, a metallic royal blue, it had an aerofoil on the bootlid with the letters RS something or other. And I thought: "Is that it?" I really must get that boy along to his optician.

So how come your bro has that? Is Hydrolastic illegal in France? :lol: I love a nice VDP 1300 auto, especially if its colour is that lovely Trafalgar Blue and its interior smells right.

Rich is a little bit more backward than that GHT. This is the reason he can't get internet access on his phone:

Mind you i'm amazed he has managed to get on to the forum when this is his computer:

Rich if that's your computer, check inside. Sometimes the wheel is spinning but the hamster is dead.
