Announcements

Sorry for the delay in getting today’s issue out, my internet went down in the middle of the night, probably due to maintenance on the server.

In order to save on data storage space I will be purging all pics (but not text) from issues before 2017. Keeping a complete archive going back 1 1/2 yrs is sufficient. If you want to save a pic from an older issue do it before 01 Sept.

The DigameXtra website Header Picture will be updated soon. Snow covered mountains just doesn’t seem appropriate in this heat!

DoctorLaptop’s August Special: Did you know that the current version of Windows 10 (1803) reaches it’s end of service in only 15 months? We don’t yet know if another free version update will be offered. We do know that soon you will no longer buy a copy of Windows, you will lease it by subscription. Full article

Learn Linux! If you don’t like Windows 10, can’t afford Macs and don’t want to be trapped into the Windows-as-a-subscription service that Microsoft will be introducing then this is for you. There are several versions of Linux designed to be familiar to Windows users to ease the transition. This is a 1.5 hour class that will get you up and running Manjaro Live Linux on your laptop computer without the need to install it until you are ready to do so. Manjaro Live runs off a flash drive so your current Windows system is left intact. Unplug the flash drive and restart to return to Windows. You will need to bring a 8Gb or larger flash drive to the class. This flash drive will be dedicated to Manjaro use only, no other data can be stored on it. Manjaro looks similar to Windows 7 but with different colors. With Manjaro the system and all programs are free. Malware is so rare most Manjaro users don’t even use a anti-virus program. Class Cost = €40 doctorlaptop@protonmail.com

Has anyone seen Squeak? Missing For 2 Months! Has anyone seen Squeak or know where she is please, I’ve just learned that she has not been seen by my house/cat sitters since just after I left in late May. Near the bridge in Puente don Manuel, by the track which runs to the olive press at the back of the shops and bars. Have you seen her? Have you “rescued” her thinking she has no home? Have you adopted her or taken her in? She is 3-4 years old, spayed but not ear clipped and no chip. I need to know where she is and whether she is safe or even dead. If anyone has her and she is happy, she can stay although I’d love to see her again. ANY information urgently sought, (incomplete email deleted) or text me +447976 715409.

Announcements

Bus Travel Along Coast: Be aware Alsa buses do not provide extra buses if they become full along the route; if at a major station that sells tickets they will at least be able to tell you it’s sold out, saving you a long, hot, boring wait. At stops that do not have a ticket office you just have to wait till the next bus and hope there is room. This morning in Torrox Costa I was waiting for a bus to Nerja. Two in a row, 11 and 11:30, would not allow anyone to board as they were full. I didn’t wait to see if it was going to be 3 in a row. -Naythan

Thanks: Thank you to everyone who kindly replied to my request on how to get an earlier ITV appointment by taking a cancellation. As most of you recommended we went along to Algarrobo and took a ticket from the machine saying no appointment. We waited several hours before our number was called, but the good news is we were seen and the car passed. Thanks again. Sylvia (Velez) ; sylvia4700 @ hotmail.co.uk
