<div class="im">Sorry? You don't seem to understand what I'm saying. No I don't trust my data with a stranger, that's one of the reasons I won't send the hard drive off. I already have a server to back up to, it's the good internet connection I lack. And why would anyone cringe reading that?</div>

<div><br></div><div>Also, regarding 0845 a simple Google search pulls up this website <a href="http://www.weq4u.co.uk/">http://www.weq4u.co.uk/</a> which allows you to call a landline number (0333 5432111) and then when it answers type in an 0845 number and it'll connect... so it isn't exactly rocket science, is it?<br>
