It's just one of those tunes that screams 80s and anyone around during that time will have good memories of it I'd say. Sad end for him and unfortunately got ill before medical science caught up with that disease - Death: Stewart died of AIDS-related liver cancer on March 17, 1997, at age 39 in the Chicago suburb of Homewood, Illinois. His burial site was left without a tombstone or even a grave marker for over 17 years. In 2014, his grave finally received a gravestone, paid for anonymously by a fan. (source Wikipedia) I use a desktop PC so generally have no problems with things loading. I think that there's a script on youtube that sometimes forces an annoying restart or switch off but that's about it. Does it need a new thread every 10 pages or so? |

Ever since I bought my first iPad years ago my desktop became almost redundant. You can take it anywhere and use the hotspot on my phone to get Wi-Fi. Very handy when you have a dog and spend half your life waiting in the car with him while the Mooses is in a shop. At home I’d rather sit on the sofa or at the dining table. So much easier than traipsing upstairs and throwing some coal on the desktop. Although when it comes to business use Microsoft is much better than Apple. Regarding every 10 pages. I would say let’s see how it goes. I will need to renew the iPad soon which should speed things up with a more up to date version. |
