I can certainly help you - I have been doing this for many years, and have excellent references.


I charge ?30/hour if you are local, but the first 20 minutes are free in order for you to decide if I know what I am talking about - and can also help you to understand (so that you will not need me the next time!).


If you prefer, call me on 07973 269654 to discuss (for example, if you need to get files from a PC or another Mac onto your new machine)


Regards

Francis

I would personally question an engineer whom advises other forumites that it's OK to use illegal file sharing sites on a computer that is just as vulnerable to attack as a PC.

Hackers, Virus, Trojans, malware, keyloggers etc play a numbers game. Window users make up the vast majority of computer users, and so are the main focus for attack.

Two answers to 'safe'.

1) If you have an Apple computer, it cannot be damaged by downloading a rogue file. Windows is much more vulnerable.

2) There is a very remote possibility that if you did this a lot, you might receive a warning from your Internet Service Provider.


Note: many ISPs block the main Pirate Bay site (but there are ways around this).


Hope this helps.

      Police appeal: Monday, 25 August – Assault between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs

      By beansprout · Posted

      March46, thanks for posting letter - and mentioning a comment I made. Alice - Ilona started this thread to raise awareness of a police appeal to the local community. Think it was very nice to have taken the time  to make the community aware as we all live stressful and busy lives. What has resulted is a discussion, opinions call it what you like with local members of the community on this forum mentioning what I personally think of  as this person over the months has been sighted.  If to quote you in your last paragraph beginning “It’s a load of rubbish……. - all I can say, is I hope the incident never happens to you..this was nothing related to Robinson at all - but unless you live under a rock, you would understand the enormous pressure the Mets is under and what a great job they do. Just read the letter that March46 shared with the whole forum. And before you start off again, of course there are “bad apples” in all the forces - worldwide.
