That's something I've always suspected, but these days it hardly seems necessary to learn to write at all. your computer can read and write for you through voice recognition.
I have seen this message on the web about a recent Win11 update:
If you’ve already installed update KB5043145 and you’re running into problems, you can uninstall the update in Windows Recovery under the Troubleshoot > Advanced Options menu. After uninstalling it, Windows should be able to restart correctly.

Not having had a television for many years, I never saw The Apprentice, either Trump's version or Sugar's (the UK copy). So the other day I looked at one episode on YouTube. Or more accurately, part of one episode. I won't be looking for any more! Fawlty Towers makes more sense.
Hi Dick,
I'm Geoff, and have been using PP since PP3. I think you were around back then, and didn't you send me one of Serif's Pocki drives when I broke the one I had? 32MB, if I remember correctly.
There is no such little black arrow on my Page Plus X9 screen
Then on the View menu, under Tabs, make sure Assets Tab is active,
Were you on the old Serif forums? Your name seems familiar.
I think it just depends whether the assets tab was open of closed when PagePlus was last closed. If it is not visible, just click on the little black arrow head halfway down the left side of the screen.
I would consider any community largely dependent on an adjacent larger community to be a suburb. I have no knowledge of Penrith, NSW, but maybe it is primarily a residential area, with little industry of its own, housing folk who commute to their employment in Sydney.
According to Chat AI:
Penrith is indeed considered a suburb of Sydney. It is located about 55 kilometers (34 miles) west of the Sydney central business district and is part of the Greater Western Sydney region12. Despite being a distinct city with its own local government area, Penrith is often regarded as a suburb due to its integration into the larger Sydney metropolitan area12.
Perhaps Australia, like USA, considers any community with an elected council to be a city. The nearby "city" of Gig Harbor, is, I'd guess, roughly the size of Thornton Heath (an area of Croydon, Greater London). Neither Croydon nor Greater London are cities of course.
I didn't watch it live, but have seen extracts. The absolute highlight for me was when the clown was saying how people in Ohio were having their pet cats eaten by Haitian immigrants, and Harris burst into laughter!

Search Dusty Springfield mother's pride advert, and you will see that clip.
But you can save up to $1,200 with their 10% off deal with this one, and perhaps spend it on a ticket to a film festival.
I like muesli too, and have it now and again. It is available in most stores, at least in this area (maybe because the only brand, Bob's red Mill, is Oregon based) but it's not as popular here as in Europe and UK. There's a wider choice of granola, but that tends to be too sweet for my taste. Added sugar is the American way! The only time I've seen Alpen, was in the Grocery Outlet, a store that sells off discontinued or overstocked products.
Weetabix seems to be disappearing here too.
Thanks Alfred. I remember Sainsbury's used to sell their own-brand wheat flakes, which from the size, shape, taste and packaging was obviously made for them by the makers of Force.
Reading the comments on the Grocer site, I see someone mentions Grape Nuts Flakes by Post. I don't know if they are available in the UK, but they are readily available here, and are indeed very similar to Force.
With no Kennedy's sausages or Force in the UK, eases any homesickness I may feel!
Hi Moth,
Glad to have helped. I seldom use DrawPlus, since PagePlus is capable of most things.
About the bus: it developed slowly!
Much of my career with MoT involved buses, which in South London were mainly London Transport.
That particular one is roughly the same age as me.
The placard on the side reads "Community Bus" inspired by Serif's "Community Plus".
It is actually a model given away by Force Wheat Flakes (my favourite breakfast cereal from way back - taken over by Nestle's and killed).
The background photo was taken in my backyard here in Washington State, on beautiful starry night.
The bus being in my backyard was inspired by the old joke about a drunk taking the bus home because he was in no fit state to drive his car.

Maybe it was simply doing a Windows update. This can take several, even many, minutes.
aligning the top of the characters to a circle.
See illustration: dragging the blue dot along the blue line will adjust the text position relative to the circle.
By the way, I'm getting crashes as Alfred described, but managed eventually. I'll try to find out how!
My "home" territory having grown up in SE24
Hi Eric.
My home territory was SE25, north part of Croydon. Although despite being the next number, it is not adjacent to SE24.
Kennedy's was based in Peckham, which is very adjacent to SE24. Their pork sausages were the very best I ever found - absolutely scrumptious! Seeing at them sizzling in that video makes my mouth water! Way better than Wall's or Harris's, and anything you could buy in a supermarket.
Unfortunately they failed to survive my move to the US! The world has lost a great delicacy!
Geoff
But that's not all! The third candidate also has a British sausage connection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPI1Y_S2Q2g
I've just realised that the Democrat candidates both have some connection to two top brand British sausages and meat pies. Harris and Wall's.
As far as I remember (I no longer have PPX5 installed) the Cutout Studio is included in PPX5. That will allow you to eliminate any part of an image you choose. Have you tried it?
I guess you are using version X5.
You could use the Cutout Studio, or, if the white is pure, that is has exactly the same rgb values throughout, you could use Format/Picture/Picture Transparency.
Note that jpg does not support transparency, so you'll need png or gif.
Hi Jennymac, welcome to the forum.
Try Resetting PagePlus. Keep the CTRL key pressed as you open it.
Geoff
I don't see and attach option.
I think you will see one if you "edit" your answer.
ARM (Acorn RISC Machine) itself dates back to the late 1980s
Wow! My fist computer, back then, was a BBC B, which was Acorn! Allowing for inflation, that machine was a little more expensive than my latest laptop! My 9-pin Epson printer back then, was much more expensive compared to my current HP (but the ink tapes were much cheaper than HP's refills!)
Thanks, Alfred. I never knew there were different types of Windows for different computer setups.
