Hmmm yes, not very logical, was it? ;-)

Quite. Well, I still have a computer here which runs XP but it gives me more grief than I need so I fire it up only when I need to get something from it.
However, I have three other computers here which all run Windows 10 (one has 64-bit installed and the other two are 32-bit). At least I *did have* two which are 32-bit but it was one of them which just stopped working. I tried a little resuscitation on it but didn't have the time to do more. When I built these computers I installed OEM Windows which means that I can't transfer the activation to another computer. I now see that wasn't a good idea and should have paid the full amount for a retail version.
So that means that, as my computer begin to die, one by one, I have to replace them with new builds. And as Windows 10 is no longer on sale, I have to buy a retail copy of Windows 11.
Tell me if there's a flaw in my thinking but remember, I'm too old now to tinker around with vintage computer systems. I get too obsessed with them to the detriment of all the other things I have to do!
Anyway, I seem to have registered successfully with my new mail reader on Björn's server as I can send and receive. But at the moment I'm not receiving back the messages that I've written.
