Not ever having had a Mac I wonder what the attraction is, I know they cost more than a PC, so presumably they do something better. Or put another way, what is it that a Mac can do that a PC cannot?

I use NavFree on my Samsung S3. Free program and free maps. No need for second piece of tech to carry around or PC/MAC to plug it into to update. [emoji16]

No time machine backup. Anyway Some good news, forgot to mention retrieved my iMac keyboard from the airing cupboard this morning and all works perfect. I will see what Apple have to say tomorrow re-macbook pro

Thanks for the good explanation Will. The folk that I know with them, bought them because if they look nice.

Hi Roger, I normally use a diamond stone. I have both fine and co**BLEEP** so it depends, if it is not much I use the fine one. I found that DMT is very good and lasts a long time. Other brands are ok but some tend to loose their edge rather quickly. This solution could be more expensive but cheaper in the long run...and time saving. Cheers, Bob

ITS FIXED. Mark for a knighthood at least. Fitted yet another bearing (3rd one) this morning and it functions completely different to other two I fitted. I used the same method fitting so it must have been some duff bearings. Noticed yesterday when I ultrasonic cleaned the second bearing that there was a tiny deposit of white stuff in the bottom of the machine wondering if they had been loaded with a grease of some sort. I have also fitted two new reversing wheels as a precaution but I am sure it is fixed. P.S. I ordered the bearings yesterday afternoon and they arrived this morning hats off to Cousins
