Backbirds ?

Is it me, or are blackbirds thinner in Spain?

They are certainly louder ( naturally).

Please answer to Digamextra, as this issue could be concerning hundreds of us.

Cheers John B.

(Editor responds : Certainly our newly hatched blackbirds are very slim & dapper, but maybe this is down the high quality food we put out for the parents and all the other wild birds. Jane)

 

 

Services Available –DoctorLaptop’s Tips #52 and New Special Deal– Windows 10 Upgrade Info

-The free upgrade offer ends 29 July 16. No extension of the offer is expected.
-BEWARE! Microsoft has moved the Win 10 Upgrade to “Important Update” status, so it will be automatically installed on all PCs set to allow Automatic Updates, EVEN IF YOUR PC IS NOT CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING WIN 10!!! Plus MS keeps changing the number of the Win 10 Upgrade update so avoiding it by manually unselecting it from the updates list is impossible. Some Win 7/8 users who have not turned off Automatic Updates report finding that Win 10 in Spanish has been installed on their English PC without warning. Win 7 users may consider turning off Auto Updates at this point, as recommended by many support advice sites. Just do Java and Flash and web browser plug-in updates manually once a month and keep your antivirus program updated and do weekly full scans. Most new Win 7 updates are unnecessary for average users using major Western languages. Any possible benefit from new Win 7 Updates is, in my opinion, outweighed by an unwanted Win 10 Upgrade at this point. I will announce any new important Win 7 Updates on DigameXtra should they be necessary. Info on blocking the Win 10 Upgrade while leaving Auto-Updates on is below for those who wish to continue using that function.
-All Win 7/8 PC owners should by now have checked if their unit is Win 10 capable or not. You must check your PC’s manufacturer’s website to see if your exact model is on their list of Win 10 supported units, or if they provide no such list, check to see if they provide Win 10 drivers for your unit. The Microsoft Win 10 Compatibility Checker is unreliable! If there are no Win 10 drivers available from the manufacturer you should not do the upgrade.
-BEWARE! On PCs that were originally Win 7 or 8, even if your unit is on the manufacturer’s Upgradable List, or if Win 10 drivers are provided, that is no guaranty of future Win 10 compatibility. Some Win 7 or 8 PCs that were listed as upgradable initially have already been rendered unusable by recent updates to Win 10. So keeping a weekly “disk image” backup is very important on these units, allowing you to go back to the old system should the Win 10 Upgrade sneak in. Almost all PCs that were originally Win 8.1 are upgradable.
-You can continue to do Automatic Updates and still block Windows Update from installing the Win 10 upgrade on PCs by using the GWX Control Panel program. This page explains how to use it and offers a safe download link.
http://blog.ultimateoutsider.com/2015/08/using-gwx-stopper-to-permanently-remove.html
-Microsoft has announced the new updates for Win 10 will double the number of adverts on the Smart Screen and Lock Page. Thus Win 10 is no longer “free”, it is “ad supported”. Expect this trend to grow rapidly as ads become as invasive as they are in Android devices. Non-Android Linux is still totally free and has no adverts.
WELCOME TO LINUX SPECIAL: I can install Linux beside your current Windows system for 60EUR, including a 1hr class to get you started. You will have a new boot menu when powering on the PC, allowing you to choose to start Windows or Linux. This way you can become familiar with Linux while continuing to use Windows as your primary system. Linux and it’s programs are free, virtually immune to malware, have no adverts and allows you to access your Windows files while using Linux. Linux versions of programs you already use will be available, like Firefox, Chrome, Open Office and VLC Player. This way, when support for Win 7/8 ends, you can easily migrate to Linux full time. Offer ends 15JUN16.

Recommendation –Health Insurance

My recommendation for private health insurance would be Provision medica all details can  be found on line and they have several agents covering the area.  We have been with them for 17 years, during which time we have had many  health problems, including 2 which required major surgery and after care.  They never quibbled.  They use the best clinics and hospitals together with highly qualified specialists.  They do not load the policy after you reach a certain age either, nor following a major claim.  We are confident in their care and even though we are entitled to use the Social health Care, we never have.

 What’s on- Swim for Life- Competa, Sat. June 4th

A local man is planning to make a big splash for charity.   Martin Robinson from Canillas de Albaida is undertaking a marathon swim to raise money for cancer charity  Cudeca.

On Saturday, June 4th he will attempt to swim over 200 lengths of Competa pool.

Last year Martin was diagnosed with bowel cancer and after a major operation and gruelling chemotherapy he wants to raise money for the charity.

“Cudeca has helped support me in so ways” he said.  “The swim is just a small personal way to thank everyone who has helped me.”   “I’ve always been so fit, active and healthy.  Therefore it was a huge shock to discover I had cancer,” he explained.

“Volunteers and health professionals from Cudeca were always on hand to offer help and advice.”

Everyone is invited to cheer Martin on and sponsor him by signing the forms that will be circulated by a team of helpers. Come along to Competa Pool on Saturday, 4th June from 10.00am onwards.  Alternatively please place your sponsorship money in one of the official Cudeca collection tins at the event.

Help make a BIG SPLASH for charity.  Any questions, please contact Cudeca volunteer;  Cindy Jones  665156467 or email cindyjones19 @ hotmail.com

What’s on-Fiesta Time in Ronda (2 Seats available)

The Phoenix Club are  off on a jolly visiting the Historical City of Ronda on Sunday 22nd May.  This weekend is the Ronda fiesta and the streets will be teeming with plenty to see and do including a medieval market, equestrian show, dancers and jugglers.  This trip proves very popular so please book early.

Ronda in Andalucia, Spain is a popular city amongst travellers due to its romantic location in the mountains. The history of Ronda has seen many rulers settle and build upon the town, which is perched on top of a mighty cliff. Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs and Catholic monarchs all left their mark. Wars and subsequent rebellions such as the Napoleonic invasion and the Spanish civil war inspired many stories, including Hemingway’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls”.  The romantic character of both the location and history of Ronda has accumulated in a yearly event known as Ronda Romantíca. Although it wasn’t set up until recently, every year more people flood to the city to witness this enchanting dive into the past. As locals dress up as their favourite characters from history, the streets come alive with markets, parades, music, dances and stories from the romantic times of Ronda – the late 18^th and the 19^th century.

It is simply a must-see experience.
Another important part of Ronda Romantíca is the historical fair, where the importance of livestock for the area throughout the ages becomes obvious. Cattle and horses were a great source of wealth, and the stately traditional fairs where these could be traded exempted from tax were a tell-tale sign of city’s importance. It’s no wonder then that one of Spain’s oldest bull rings is found in Ronda.
So do you love history, romantic views and enthusiastic Spanish fiestas? Then you can’t miss out on Ronda Romantíca 2016! Whether you participate in the parade in your own costume or enjoy the traditional fair, dances and stories as a spectator – this is one experience you won’t forget.
Due to a cancellation we have 2 seats available if you would like to come along.
Date:  Sunday 22 May 2016
Price?  €17pp and includes drivers gratuity.
Depart Algarrobo Lidl at 9am and returning from Ronda at 17.30.
For more information or to book call Gail on 951067723, emailphoenixsocialclub@yahoo.co.uk or catch us on the web at www.phoenixsocialclub.co.uk.
The Phoenix Club is a registered association raising funds for 3 local charities and Help4Heroes in the UK.  We meet every tuesday at the Bar/Restaurant La Vega in Torre del Mar between 12 and 2 pm.  Bookings/payments can be made from 12.15 onwards.

Missing Pup from Tail Refuge

This black collie type pup ran off from the river Torrox not far from Torrox Costa on Monday about 12.00 noon. If you see him please call Sue on 629501173 or Gill 633405560 or send a message to TailTorrox on Facebook. He has just been adopted and the new owners are distraught. Thank you

 

 

Kitten Emergency

Please can you help? Axarquia Animal Rescue are desperate for people to foster (or adopt) kittens.
Fostering kittens is just as much fun as fostering puppies.
It is a joy to see them play and run around, they can be so funny.
It is heartwarming when they come to you for a cuddle or sleep huddled next to you.
It is so exciting to see them grow up!
Ok, so what’s the benefit of fostering kittens?
You don’t have to clean up after them
You don’t have to educate them
You can leave them alone
You can sleep as long as you like once they eat solid food
And adult cats have so much to give too…cuddling them is fantastic, cats have amazingly soft fur compared to dogs, they are clean and they PURR which is very relaxing
Not sure you’re a cat person? Try it! If you don’t enjoy it (which is very unlikely), at least you will have saved a life.
You have dogs? No problem, just keep the kittens in a separate room, just make it a playground and they are happy.
No experience? Doesn’t matter, cats are so easy to keep.
Any other doubts? Please ask.
Please, please consider fostering a cat or kittens, they are great fun and we really need your help! We will supply everything you need and pay all costs.

Please share this with anyone you think might be interested. Thanks.

 

Lost Mobile Phone
Somewhere during the past couple of weeks I have lost my Samsung E1050 mobile phone. I probable dropped it in the Nerja area; it is a very basic phone but I am hoping that some kind Digamite may have picked it up and handed it in; it is probably now sitting in a drawer behind a bar in some restaurant waiting to be claimed!  If you have this phone  please contact me by email: marion_ talbot  @yahoo.com
Many thanks, Marion

 

More about suspicious person roaming the Campo at night! 

On the 2 May, a person was walking onto a property off Cuesta Benamayor, known locally “Park Lane” .Wednesday he reappeared on the same property and ran off when seen. He didn’t scare off by two dogs (one really big) or that lights were on.

On Saturday night he was seen again a few houses down the street with the owner being home and a dog and lights on around the house. He was disturbed at 01:45 in the morning, with the owners cars parked next to the front door down a long drive. He took two rucksacks out of a car leaving the car door open. These were found a bit up the road the next day.

Today when walking the dogs on Lomo de Tapia, I found a race bike saddle with pouch empty. Since these are quite expensive (the make is Selle Italia) I took it along and yesterday the saddle was retrieved by it’s owner ( thank god the grape vine works !).

The Local Police and the Guardia have been made aware of all of these incidents in and around the Campo including Cruz de Zarja. The person that has been seen, seemed to have the same build and clothing (Black hoodie)

So to all Digamites in Competa, keep your eyes open and be aware that there is someone around.

I’m sure that with all the eyes that Digame has watching he won’t be around for long…

D.S.

Services Needed- Rental Support Team

I am looking to create a team of people to support my vacation rental in La Herradura.

I will be interviewing candidates the week of June 6th.

Here are some part time positions that I’m looking to fill:

Meeter and Greater – Do you enjoy meeting new people and introducing them to the wonders of our beautiful region?  This job will require you to drive to Malaga airport and bring my guests to La Herradura.  On route, you will stop off at the Supermarket in Nerja and help secure basic groceries for the new arrivals.  You will drop them off at the house and orient them to the details of the house. Interesting stories about your experiences in Spain would provide delightful conversation. I expect to grow to 1-4 guests per month. Obviously this is very part time. A return trip to the airport may very well be necessary for these guests.

Villa Ambassador – I’m looking for a creative person who has a gift for marketing.  Perhaps you’re retired from a prior marketing/advertising career and have some ideas about marketing a vacation rental. We’ll brainstorm together some strategies and see what works best.

Problem Solver –  As you can imagine, issues will always come up with a vacation rental.  I’m looking for a take charge person who can deal with problems that arise with home ownership.  This person must be detail oriented and enjoy dealing with whatever issues arise. Maybe the internet is out or the washing machine doesn’t work. An ability to fix minor home repairs would be a bonus.

Multilingual Speaker – I suspect I’ll be getting rental inquires from people around the world.  I’d value a person who has the ability to speak many languages to assist with reservations and to answer basic questions.

General manager – This person will coordinate and oversee the entire process to ensure a smooth running operation. It is possible to wear a few hats if such a person exists.

If any of these positions peak your interest, please email me about yourself and why you think you’d be great for the job. Salaries are negotiable.

michellerabin @ gmail.com

 

Rental Needed – Urgently !

Does anybody know a long term rental available in Torrox Costa?

Preferably 3 bedrooms but if it is a spacious property 2 would be fine too.

Thanks!

mauricemulvihill at gmail. com

 

 

Rental Needed –in U.K.

Currently living in Nerja but looking for a 2 bedroom rental accommodation in West Midlands/Worcester area for two months.  Will also consider house sitting and looking after pets.  My 28 year old son and I are moving back to the UK and need a base to stay whilst we look around for permanent or long term rental.  Please email me onpheatley_teacher@yahoo.co.uk or telephone Tricia:  +34 643395856.  Can provide excellent references.
Thank you.

Recommendation –C and A Euro Van Service

I would like to get the word out regarding a most positive experience we had with C and A Euro Van Service.

My brother and I recently had to move my Mother back to England from Spain after the unexpected passing of my Father. (He lives in England, and I live in Canada) We had been referred a “friend of a friend” to take care of the moving but this unfortunately fell through due to limitations of where the person would deliver to once in England. We were, however, referred to the above mentioned company run by owners Cathy and Alan.

From our first phone conversation we were put totally at ease. Knowing the situation was difficult, Cathy wanted to make sure Mum was comfortable with their service and to “meet” them ahead of time. So we set up an appointment to FaceTime with them, this way she could see them in person and not be dealing with strangers.

Communication was thorough from the time we booked until the time they arrived to pick up Mums belongings. They had even offered to come and help her pack, though that was not necessary.

Delivery of the boxes in England was swift and efficient, and even arrived a day earlier than originally anticipated (approved by us before hand)

After dealing with all the complications of banking, wills etc. it was such a breath of fresh air to deal with someone who literally took a load off our minds.

I would highly recommend C and A Eurovan Service to anyone planning to move between England & Spain (or anywhere else the company serves!)

Emergency Appeal  

Axarquia Animal Rescue desperately need your help. This young male cat was hit by a car and is recovering well. He wasn’t chipped and no owner has come forward. AAR are paying all his vet bills. Sadly he has tested positive for Feline leukaemia. He can only be homed as an ‘only cat’ and will need to stay indoors, or can share a home with other leukaemia positive cats.

Does ANYONE know someone who has a Leukaemia Positive cat and may be willing to open their heart and home to Pedro? He is loving, friendly and in good health. I really can’t stress how URGENT this is now. We only have a window of a couple of days to find him a home. Please help us to help Pedro. Email axarquia-rescue@hotmail.com

Another Cat Savaged by Dogs in Torrox Campo

Desperately need help in identifying owner of 2 dogs escaped or let loose in Benemar area of Torrox campo. Yesterday afternoon (Sunday) I experienced the trauma of having to witness one of the cats at my home being savaged by 2 dogs outside my patio doors. This is not the first time; on another occasion my car was seriously damaged at a cost of €1,500 when the same 2 dogs attacked another cat. The cat took refuge under my car and the dogs literally “attacked” the car in order to get at the cat; the front bonnet was not just scratched but had deep indentations from where they were “biting” the bonnet and the under -carriage of the car was ripped away in their frenzy.
My nearest neighbour also confirmed that on the previous day (Saturday) these same 2 dogs had caused damage to their car when they chased a cat who took refuge on the undercarriage of their car.
Back to yesterday after chasing the dogs away it was clear the cat was still alive but was dragging its whole body and back legs and took cover under a cover by the pool; clearly it’s back was broken and within minuets I called a vet whose number by the way was given to me by Sue of the organizsation “TAIL”.
I spent the next 2 hours roaming the main tracks seeking out the dogs and calling at properties to ask if anyone knew of 2 such dogs who lived in the area. Nobody could identify the dogs or their owners but 2 separate people confirmed that 2 other cat and dog owners had had their animals attacked by dogs of the same description; one on their own property whose dog was seriously injured and the second a lady who was walking her dog. This lady apparently felt threatened by the dogs herself.
I apologise for the length of this notice, but am trying to emphasize the urgent need to identify the owners of these dogs in order to prevent further similar incidents. I cannot over emphasize the trauma I experienced in witnessing the savage attack on a poor defenseless cat, which is my main concern. However, don’t let’s forget the €1,500 damage caused to my car on my own land, protected by a 3 meter high wall and a solid electric gate. In order to gain access to this particular vicinity these dogs would have had to enter my parcel via the campo and follow a trail of several hundreds of meters to reach the house.
In conclusion the description of these dogs: one totally black the other tan/black, both with reasonably thick coats, and both of medium size. (Say of knee height). Both animals seemed in reasonable condition.
The area was in Pago Benemar (at the newish roundabout, cross over the bridge and turn immediately right (not the left for the Frigiliana road) Approximately 200 meters of black Tarmac the road bears to the left with an “S” bend, continues on passing a wooden house on the right and a mobile home on the left to another sharp bend and continues and continues. The dogs gain access by crossing the land of numerous properties but come from the direction of the track threading up the mountain.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help if you have any knowledge of where these dogs come from, or who is responsible for them. Also if anyone has experienced similar incidents, please share. The main goal is to prevent any similar trauma to both animals and people.
Thank you in advance.

Fix for recent windows 7 problem

Further to Rep’s contribution simplifying the information concerning the Windows 7 ‘red screen’ issue, I would add the following:

(a) Not all Asus motherboards are affected by this problem, only those with a UEFI BIOS, which Asus only began to introduce in late 2011.  So older computers are not affected.

(b) Although the steps shown on the Asus support page are fairly simply, users without a great deal of technical knowledge should seek help from a more knowledgeable friend rather than trying to apply the fix themselves.  If you mess up the boot settings, you will only cause yourself more problems.

German Shepherd Dog seen roaming

A male Alsatian and his black collie dog friend were seen wandering on the mountain track from the helicopter pad towards Acebuchel near the ford  on Saturday afternoon 7 May, around 4pm.

The Alsatian is wearing a leather collar and both dogs seem friendly.

I am guessing they are lost or have been dumped.

If either dog is yours or you can rescue them please recover them soon

as they are obviously hungry.

Scary Happening in Competa – Warning
.I wanted to share with everyone what happened last night at our house in the area of Cruz de Zarja, Competa.

We had a friend come for the evening so main gates to our property were open and our car and hers were parked on the drive. Several rooms had lights on.

We had  music playing, and we were talking, so quite obviously someone was in the house

About 9.30pm we heard a noise outside and what sounded like our sun room door opening and closing.

I got up, went into the sun room followed by my husband to see a man outside. He went “BOOO !!” …. to us then ran away very fast.

He was white about 5ft.9, wearing light coloured trousers and a dark hooded top. We found it very frightening and unnerving to say the least.

Was it a potential burglar or what was he up to?

He disappeared into the night.

No sign of anybody else or any car, so please be vigilant and keep your doors locked.

Did anyone else have a similar experience? if so please post on Digamextra

Non Residents & UK Registered Cars
I know that you said that todays’ (Sunday) post would be the last on the matter, however a statement made by Tony Pulle is incorrect, and I do feel that it needs addressing.

He states that a non resident cannot own a Spanish registered car, which is totaly incorrect. Prior to moving out to live in Spain full time, we owned a Spanish registered car which was kept at our holiday home and  used  when we were here. In order to purchase it we needed an NIE and insurance, and it needed to be kept roadworthy and subject to a periodic ITV test.

I hope that you will publish this as many readers will have been mislead.

Best wishes,

Steve

Puppies need help

Click to enlarge pics

I have 3 puppies (2 brown male 1 white female) that have been abandoned near my house in the campo (Los Romanes area)….Dad is still about but no sign of Mum. I have put some food and shelter out to tide them over but I am going back to UK in a few days and if no one can take them I dare not think what will become of them whilst I’m away.

There must be someone who can take them PLEASE. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Recommendation – Namaste

We would just like to say, we were in Nerja earlier this week & came across-

Namaste –  a new Nepalese & Indian Restaurant in Calle Cristo (Post Office Street).

They  have been open a couple of months & the food was excellent,

one of the best on the coast.

Try it, we are sure you will return.

Jules and Jim. Competa

 

 

Recommendation- The Orangerie Torrox Costa

Two days ago we sampled the allegedly “Best ribs on the Costa Del Sol.”

Well, don’t know about that, but they were certainly the best we’ve tasted

so far here on the Costa.

Today we went back and tried the Dutch tapas menu, and again we weren’t

disappointed.

The staff were cheery and helpful, and very efficient, and they guided us

through their menu, and advised us what to sample. They couldn’t do enough.

We ate outside, but the restaurant itself was clean, with excellent disabled access and toilets, should it be required.

It is situated near the lighthouse in Torrox, (don’t let the beach works put you off.)

Open every day except Tuesday from 11am – 9.30pm, although this is flexible

depending on the amount of customers left.

Two happy customers.

Geoff and Maria.

 

 

Recommendation- Doctor Laptop  

Can I propose a bouquet for Naythan, Doctorlaptop.   First for his information and warnings to the community.  Secondly for the generous way he is willing to give help and information by email.  I am not even a ‘customer’ yet but his advice has helped me a lot as my technical expertise is fast getting dated.

I know where I will be going with any computer problems

UK Reg RHD car in Spain

Digamites would be interested in my experience of owning and using a UK reg RHD as a non-resident in Spain.

Residency in Spain would require you to exchange your driving Licence for a Spanish one. (As I did in Germany for a German driving licence).

It is mandatory to have :-

1) your car insured as I did, through Spanish Solutions using a Lloyds agent in Gibraltar and

2) Confirmation of road-worthiness. The UK will not accept a Spanish ITV, so I had an pre- ITV maintenance done with Invoice & IVA (excluding emission tests). The Insurance Co did not request one for a claim of €500.

To quote a Spanish Abogado Co, “you are allowed to use a non- Spanish registered car on ‘roads in Spain’ for up to 6 months”.

For the rest of the year I had mine parked privately, under cover & battery disconnected.

A non-resident is not allowed to own a Spanish registered car. Gestors may accept a ‘holiday address’ for their commercial reasons; the policeman in Maro applied the law ‘backwards’ to the Norwegian reader, his Lawyer possibly leading him into a ‘catch 22’ court case.

The non-residency Certificate allows you to own property, telephone connection and takes you out of being a tourist. Your formal address remains that of your tax Residency.

I can claim to have had six years research of Lawyers, Court Cases, Administrators and three bankruptcies in a large Urbanization, and can side with our reader on the quality of professionalism in ‘Digamarea’.

Response to Medical Appointments – Good News

Very useful information provided by Rod but sadly no use for those of us who don’t use ‘Apps’.

I can’t believe that I am the only person not to have a Smart Phone and has to rely on using the online Health Service appointment booking service rather than an App.  The new website for making Centro de Salud appointments is

Página de Inicio de InterSAS

As with the old site, this requires foreign residents to use their Tarjeta de Extranjero number rather than their DNI/NIE when filling in their personal details.

I found the new site a bit confusing the first time I used it as it is different from the old one but now find it very simple to use successfully:-

Click on ‘Introduciendo datos personales’ in the top right

Fill in details scrolling down to ‘Tarjeta de Extranjero’ in Documento Indentificativo

Click on ‘Conectar’

Click on ‘Citas en atencion primeria’ at the top of the left hand column then ‘Cita para medicina de familia’

Choose the appointment date and time you want – appointments can be made up to a week in advance.

Print off appointment.

Hope this is of help to the ‘non-techies’ amongst us.

Services Needed-Malaga to Salares ?

We are flying to Malaga shortly and I wondered whether any Digamites know of a cheaper way to get there (with a quick stop off at Lidl to get some supplies!) than the one we used last time.  This was a Spanish taxi from Canillas de Albaida costing 70 euro.   I can’t make head or tail of bus services as it looks like there’s a lot of changes and waiting around and this won’t take us all the way.  Is there a cheaper (English) taxi service that someone can recommend that will drop us at our door?  I’d be most grateful  to hear any recommendations etc. Could you please post on Digamextra.  Lynda

Medical Appointments – Good News

I don’t know if anyone else has struggled with the online appointment service http://www.citapreviamedico.org/… whenever I tried making an appointment at the Competa medical centre, it rejected my DNI/NIE number, so was never able to use it.

But now there’s an alternative for anyone with a iPhone or a Smartphone… go to Play Store (or the iPhone equivalent) and download the app ‘Salud Responde’. You’ll have to register using the number of your Tarjeta Sanitaria, year of birth and your DNI/NIE number, but after that it was plain sailing.

I haven’t explored all the options, but it seems to offer a comprehensive list of local clinics, hospitals, laboratories, etc.

Microsoft Sabotaging Pre Win 8.1 Windows Systems?

New bad update info at bottom.

The Windows 10 Paradox, by DoctorLaptop-Nerja
Will Windows (Win) 10 make your computer obsolete before it’s worn out? If you upgraded from version 7 or 8 it is possible. While your comp may have passed compatibility checks, and the Win 10 Update seems to have installed correctly and has been working flawlessly for a few months, the compatibility check was with an early version of Win 10. It is not a guaranty of compatibility with all future Win 10 incarnations. Win 10 is the last of the numbered Win series, Microsoft (MS) has declared. There will not be a new version of Win released, only upgrades and build releases. All improvements will be included in new Win 10 updates or builds (builds are like service packs, just jargon for a large bunch a bunch of updates and new feature installers grouped together).
Now following that logic, since Win 10 continues to add new features (and keep in mind that you cannot block Win 10 updating itself), eventually some of these updates will add features that your old hardware just is not designed to handle. The result will be your comp crashes when you reboot. At that point you will no longer be able to start that unit normally, only in Safe Mode. MS has effectively deemed your computer obsolete. So you will have to uninstall that last update and maybe MS will find a way to let you block that feature(but don’t bet on it, MS would rather you buy a new comp so they can force you into buying all new software from them) and at that point if you can’t block the offending feature you can’t use that comp on the internet again unless you re-install a pre-Win 10 version of Win or a non-Win Operating System.
The best you can hope for then as regards to Win 10 on units that were originally Win 7/8 is to extend the lifespan as much as possible. The main thing you can do in this regard, short of replacing your processor, which is prohibitively expensive, is to have your BIOS updated (this requires “flashing” the BIOS) to the newest possible version before doing the upgrade from Win 7 or 8 to Win 10. Be aware flashing your BIOS is a risky process, if it fails, which happens in a small but significant percent of cases, the computer becomes unstartable and needs to be serviced by the manufacturer to replace the damaged BIOS ,as it requires special equipment to do. As everyone should know by now, before doing an upgrade to Win 10 you must fully update your computer with all available Windows Updates and all Driver Updates from your computer manufacturer. These manufacturer driver updates must include the BIOS update if available, although the BIOS update is often overlooked. But the BIOS is a kind of driver, a driver for your processor, and often referred to as “firmware” rather than a driver, thus the confusion. So updating the BIOS before upgrading to Win 10 is often overlooked, and the upgrade may initially seem to have been successful. But the problem is, and I am now seeing cases of this, that after a few months of using the upgraded Win 10 without any problems, suddenly Win 10 crashes and will not restart, or allow a Refresh or Rollback! Why? Some newly installed feature requires support from your hardware or BIOS that you don’t have. The only fix seems to be a fresh install of an older version of Win that was working without problems. You can re-install an earlier version of Win 10 but that only works till that update that caused the problem in the first place is attempted again, and over which you have no control if using the comp on the internet. You’d be better served to go back to Win 8.1 or 7.

Now lets take this to the next logical step. MS has insider knowledge and major influence over the computer parts and chips makers. Thus they can now plan ahead when to introduce new features that will will only work with newly available hardware or Bios versions. And they will use this info to set up lifecycles for all new computers, using planned obsolescence to shorten the lifespan of all new computers to a limit they determine is to their shareholders best interests. This is a whole new level of control MS now has over your computer that didn’t exist before Win 10, when you still had control of new updates and features and whether or not you chose to install them. Now you know why they are giving Win 10 away for free and pushing the upgrade so hard. They can now force users to only get software from MS approved sources and MS and basically determine when you will need to replace your computer.

A New Win 7 Update To Avoid

Earlier this year MS warned users that Win 7 has serious problems. I dismissed it’s claims as a desperate attempt to shift Win 7 users to Win 10 (and I still do), but now MS has warned of a new serious Win 7 problem that is very real – even though it makes no sense whatsoever…As InfoWorld’s Win expert Woody Leonhard notes “I’m now seeing problems reported from all over the globe about Win 7 machines that suddenly won’t boot”. The cause? MS has made a seemingly small yet completely bizarre tweak to Win Update on Win 7 and confirmed it is crippling many users’ PCs. The tweak? It switched the status of Win 7 update KB3133977 from ‘Optional’ to ‘Recommended’. The bizarre part? Despite acknowledging the problems, MS knew they would occur in advance and it has no plans to do anything about it. Win 7 users need to read this article to determine if they are at risk.

Response- Jan

I can confirm what Dr Laptop is warning us about.  I had this problem last week my computer failed to start for 7 consecutive days and I had to run start up repair. I ‘asked Google’ about the issue and ultimately resolved it by uninstalling all my recent updates, then blocking automatic updates.  It has worked fine since.

What’s NOT on –

Due To Illness, All Canine Training this week-end is cancelled

Hi everyone, as you may possibly already know, Wendy has been quite ill this past week or so, starting with a full day spent in A&E on Monday last.

She is now feeling a little better, thankfully, but far from OK.

Accordingly, I am sad to inform everyone that we have decided to completely cancel all dog training this week-end, to give her a little more time to recover and recuperate fully.

Illness combined with a terrible weather forecast for both Velez Malaga & Nerja, cancelling for this week-end seems to be the wisest choice.
We are both very sorry to have to let you all down as we know you love training, as do your dogs, but in view of the fact that Wendy has been actively helping clients train their dogs in Spain for over thirteen years, this is the very first time that we have ever had to completely cancel due to illness.

Wendy is still confined to bed but seems to be a little brighter & better with each passing day although she is still not completely ‘out of the woods’ so to speak.

I feel confident that a complete rest for the next few days will be just what her body requires to heal itself.

We will be available by email or telephone to help any clients in any way we can, as always, please still feel free to contact us if you need our help.

I sincerely hope to come back to you with better news early next week when Wendy should hopefully be ‘fighting fit’ and firing on all four cylinders once again,

Thank you all for your well wishes which have all been passed on to her.

I too am missing my best friend and soul mate, so I know exactly how some of you may feel.

Best regards,

Allen   xxx

How to place an article on DigameXtra!

Send an email to janekirkspain @ gmail (dot) com

The subject line of the email should be what you’d like to see as your heading – otherwise, I choose a subject line

The text of the email should be what you’d like to see published – but note:

 Prices must be included with items for sale.

If your first attempt to sell fails, note that a second attempt will not be allowed unless the original price is reduced considerably, nor for at least 2 weeks later.

Photos will only be published once.

Photos must be in JPG or JPEG Format

Please do not send ads for property / real estate.

All formatting, pretty colours, bold, underlining, strange fonts etc are automatically removed.

Please – Don’t use all Block CAPITALS LIKE THIS or I may have to send it back for you to put into normal case (This is the way people normally write, with capital letters where appropriate – such as “I” and place names “Malaga”, makers’ names such as “Electrolux”,    days of the week “Monday”

You must include contact details, either an email address or a telephone number in the text. If you don’t I cannot publish it. Often I cannot “extract “your email address from the email, so repeat it please.

This is not a service for local companies to exploit.

The decision about what to publish is mine, if I don’t want to publish then I won’t.

About Photos and other attachments

If you want to send a picture please send it as an attachment to your email, in JPG or JPEG format and try and keep the size down to around 200KB.

Please don’t send PDFs or Word documents.

Your email address must be quoted in this forrmat…I insert spaces within the address so that nasty software can’t steal their address for spam purposes – e,g, my address is correctly   janekirkspain@gmail,com

if it were a Contributor’s address I’d insert spaces thus –

janekirkspain @ gmail,com.

So all you do is remove those spaces before contacting a contributor. 

New Rules for Blog

The rules for Blogs have changed and it now means that I could face a fine if I publish any negative reviews of any person or company – even though it may be true or half true.

 Thank you – Working together we can achieve so much!       Jane
