and it takes hours and hours and hours for it to be downloaded.... do you get narky, too?

I paid for something a couple of hours ago, via PayPal... the transaction was immediate. I am still awaiting the programme I paid for to be downloaded... and I am really getting miffed, now!

In these days of instantaneous transactions, this wait really shouldn't happen!

*wanders off thread in a right old grump*

Are you sure it will download automatically and that you don't have to actually initiate something daff? what programme is it?

Hiya Ann, it is that photo one I was talking about... it seems that there are photos still on my photo stick thingies..... it can get them back from there, even if you have deleted them... also there are still some photos on my hard drive that it will be able to get back safely. The bumf tells me it will e-mail me with the link, the username and the access codes.

So far I have had confirmation (immediate) from Paypal to say that payment had been transferred... and about 10 minutes ago, I got an e-mail from them thanking me for my payment... but no links yet. It just irks me that an electronic transaction is immediate if they are taking your money, but then they dilly dally around before clicking on their own buttons, lol!

I could understand a dely (edit: delay, even, lol) if they had to wrap, address, and then ship out...... but electronic?

*sighs*

I will learn to be patient... I really will, lolol ;¬))

Love

yes Daff
it was a legal thing as well, not much point in having to drag the laptop around in case of a discussion with the plod....a booklet would have been MUCH handier!!
hope your pics come out of cyberspace, for you...

Nope,haven't found them yet... but am tired now, and just going around in circles.... plus I have forgotten how to set a page up as a homepage, and really do not like the AOL one that comes with AVG.....

In my next life, I will be either a cat, waited on hand foot and finger.... or a computer whizz kid....

I shall get R to have a look as I am dishing up his dinner later....

I have a lovely pink theme going on though..... and I love my new screensaver........ lol

Love
