Re: Return Of The Jedi

Just a reminder about the state of my old laptop (now in its
tenth year.) It took me quite a while to reactivate it yesterday
morning and today, so it may just crash for good one of these
days. Xavi said he would take it to a place for computer repairs
in that event and, if necessary, a new one supplied by his
friend (see my earlier post.) That would take up a fair amount
of time and would be the reason if my posts dry up for more than
a few days.
By the way, I've forgotten how to copy a word, a line or a
paragraph to move elsewhere. Can anyone remind me of the
procedure?

Highlight it and press 'command c', then press 'sommand v' where
you want it to go.
I had a new Apple laptop as a housewarming present. It's lovely
(so far).

My computer failed yesterday morning and I couldn't get it going
again, so my friend Xavi took it to a computer repair shop and I
got it back this morning. It's going nicely now but if I
disappear again it will be due to the frail state of my nearly
ten year-old computer and I would finally have to buy a new one.

You have a good friend in Xavi, Greg.

Yes indeed, Leslie. He's one of those people who are always
ready to help you, even if it means sacrificing some of his work
time. He runs a printing shop just across the road from us, but
we've been pals for many years both being members of the same
church and both serving as deacons there for a while.
The printing shop was founded by his grandfather, a staunch
Catalan like his son, Salvador and grandson Xavi, and who
clandestinely printed anti-Franco pamphlets during the Civil War
(Catalan language and culture being prohibited by Franco.)
You'll be interested to know that Xavi has relatives in Canada
on his mother's side. She's Catalan but one of her sisters
married a Canadian and she and her family live in Toronto. Xavi
sometimes visits them there and they're coming over here for one
of their regular visits soon.

Does his family live in Etobicoke? We could keep in touch as an
intermediary between the two of us Greg. Xavi does not have to
be in Etobicoke, any part of Metro Toronto is OK.
(We have this trip to Ireland next week.) If Xavi has been
here before he will know when it is warm enough in Ontario. We
cought to meet.

He'll have closed up his printing shop for the weekend, Leslie,
and lives some distance away, but I'll ask him next time I see
him in the week ahead.
