Hi all, just to let you all know, I am grateful for the advice from Grahame, Del and Terry. I have aimed a bit lower in our ambitions and will look at first making sure we have reliable power to keep his notebook running and aim at giving him email capability. With the programming, we will have to organise his part a bit more carefully (he will be going to the "shops" every 6 to 8 weeks, he can synchronise then ).
This has ended up a bit off topic so my apologies.
