    @ToTheRight, figures. Algernon is a bit of a tool. When I broke my watch in the field and requested a replacement he went and grabbed me a miniature sundial from archives. Thought he was a clever bugger, he did. Could've cleaned his clock right then and there, no pun intended.

    Q installed a new keyboard for me, so it looks as though I can comment again.
    Had it been Ben Whishaw's Q I'd have new laptop, but since it was Algernon I plugged an external keyboard into my old laptop.
    Therefore, @ToTheRight is back out of retirement.

    I remember I had to do that too back in 2005 when I accidentally spilled orange juice all over my laptop keyboard while working on my History dissertation. Thankfully I've managed not to do anything like that since!

    Haha! My laptop fell off my coffee table last year. However, certain keys have only begun to fail on me recently, so I don't know if there's a connection. It is six years old, and gets plenty of use considering how often I like to comment while watching the Bonds. :D

    Been posting sparingly lately as my technical difficulties continue. My laptop is dying a slow painful death. :(
    I have a sentimental attachement to it as it was a gift from my late girlfriend.
    A replacement is inevitable but it may take a little time. Everyone I know uses their phones for internet use. I'm so old school I have a landline. Someday I'll join the 21st century. In the meantime I have a potential replacement for my laptop on the horizon and look forward to many hours of Bond commenting once I have it set up.

    Future happy times:

    I'm so old school I have a desktop computer! Phones are useful but I wouldn't use one to read and post here unless it was some kind of emergency.

    I'm back.
    I could say I never left, but that would not be quite truthful. B-)

    Welcome back, @4EverBonded!
    I thought about you recently, when remembering Sir Henry, who passed away 9 years ago... He was a close friend of both yours and mine.

    Always very happy to see a classic member return, thanks for coming back @4EverBonded. All of you are my online family <3

    Thanks so much, guys!! I really appreciate the welcome back. It just took me awhile. @DarthDimi I almost came back to write on Greg's wall again for his birthday in November, but it wasn't the right time for me. Today feels right to be back. (I think of Greg pretty often, actually.)

    Maybe "elder" or "senior" is more accurate than "classic" @FoxRox; but thanks!

    It's a miracle, isn't it, @chrisisall? ;)

    So all you charmers and stouthearted 007 fans, what's up with you and your lives? Give me a PM; that would be lovely. I need to reconnect with several of you. Thought of you more than a couple of times, @Birdleson. Let's catch up in a bit. Cheers!

    Taking off now. Too overwhelmed these days.. I may lurk when things settle, right now not much to post about.
    Take care and be well.

    Breaks are sometimes necessary, @ToTheRight. Look out for yourself and take whatever time you need. We will all be awaiting your return and will always be here for you as needed. Take care of yourself till then.

    Oh No! Now I won’t have any excuses to post pictures of the lovely Lana Turner. :))
    Seriously, be sure to take care of yourself and you’ll always be welcomed back when you decide to return.

    A toast to you based on one of our shared passions:

    As Eddie would say: “See you in the Shadows.”
    Be well my friend.
