As you have written in your comment, Internet 'friends' are not really friends if we have never met them, spent time with them, or talked to them.<br /><br />I was once told that a true friend is someone who you might not see for years, but when you do you just pick up your relationship as if you had only seen them yesterday.<br /><br />The speech from that episode of DOCTOR WHO has been quoted by several other bloggers as well, and the general feedback to it has been very positive.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-66291157601317353712015-11-15T12:29:47.357+00:002015-11-15T12:29:47.357+00:00Mike Saunders,

I just select the camera icon on the start-up screen, and as long as I remember not to put my finger over the lens, what the camera is aimed at appears onscreen. Pressing the button next to the screen takes the photo.<br /><br />I am not sure how other tablets work, but I would expect that they operate in a similar way.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-4236137400347884882015-11-15T11:38:26.910+00:002015-11-15T11:38:26.910+00:00PS please excuse the typos.

It is much easier to get angry with someone you never have to see face to face. It is now possible to viloently execute people from thousands of miles away almost at the toich of a button, and to show the execution to a hungry public worldwide.<br />And I too thought Dr Who had a timely message.<br />Well put Bob.Whiskershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12820800369799871532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-42780699904863384132015-11-15T10:25:22.528+00:002015-11-15T10:25:22.528+00:00Hi Bob, I can't understand why my tablet won&#...Hi Bob, I can't understand why my tablet won't let me access and use the camera? It is frustrating because I like to record our games. Any ideas why its not working?

However, I nonetheless would like to suggest a free program called VLC, which should turn up on a Google of those initials. I have a few American DVDs, which I cannot watch on my laptop's DVD system, nor on anything else. However, I can watch them on the laptop if I open them with VLC. It's a nifty little system.Peter Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07151357767975663350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-31363734311044045972015-11-13T16:24:15.543+00:002015-11-13T16:24:15.543+00:00Jonathan Freitag,

Admittedly it does mean that we have to wait a couple of months before the DVD is released and we can watch a film that has been available on-line for some time, but the wait is usually worth it.<br /><br />I had not realised how cheap DVD players had become! As I own quite a substantial number of DVDs, the new DVD player will get plenty of use.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-2808748321126626902015-11-13T16:01:18.387+00:002015-11-13T16:01:18.387+00:00Technology is good when it works, for sure!
