Not a good morning

I have spent a large amount of time this morning trying to get at my emails. It's suddenly decided to ask me for my password (which I give it) and keep asking me until I give up (by now I've given it 24 times) and then it says the ISP rejects my logon.

I switched everything off and started again but no joy. In desperation I phoned the Helpline - you have to be really desperate to phone a Helpline that never helps. After some questions from her and some, 'sorry I didn't catch that; can you say it again?' from me, she asked if I had Outlook Express.
'No, Outlook.'
'In that case please contact Microsoft.'

Oh, no, I've been down that route before. I'm still waiting for the Gates' henchmen to come and get me for having an illegal version after last time. I don't want to remind them.

But it still leaves me unable to access emails.

And then I nearly had a fight with an arrogant driver in the petrol station.

I am not in a good mood.

We have one that is supposed to be for educational use in schools I think. I don't know where it came from.

I have tried BT again and they've changed my password but can't do anything else as my file is locked for 12 hours. Grumble grumble.
