When I attempted to log on to my iMac this afternoon my screen was locked and bore a message to call a number to obtain help. Fortunately I received an immediate response, and the problem was dealt with and my devices secured.
With some interruptions I managed to watch the Women’s Six Nations Rugby matches between Scotland and Ireland and between England and France.
This evening we joined Elizabeth and Jacqueline for dinner at The Red Lion in Pilley. Elizabeth and I enjoyed steak pie, chips, and vegetables; Jackie chose burger, chips, and coleslaw; and Jacqueline, salmon, boiled potatoes, and vegetables. The three ladies all chose crême brulée for dessert, while my choice was apple and summer berries crumble and custard. Jackie drank a lager, Elizabeth a non alcoholic beer, and Jacqueline and I, a merlot.
Everyone’s dinner sounds really good, especially the deserts.
Thank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Very alarming. I am glad that it was fixed promptly.
Thank you very much, Tootlepedal
Actually it was a scam. All now properly protected thanks to an hour with Apple this morning.
I did wonder a bit about that.
Oooh, dinner sounds so delicious, Derrick! I hope someone didn’t hack into your machine.
Glad you got your computer back. I was afraid it might have been ransomware.
Thanks very much, Pat
Thanks very much, Pat. You were so right. Actually it was a scam. All now properly protected thanks to an hour with Apple this morning
Thanks, Derrick. All’s well that ends well.
Thank goodness it wasn’t a hacker or something else nasty.
Thanks very much, Catherine

That’s scary about your computer, Derrick. I also thought something nefarious. I’m glad it’s working now. I would have gone with your choice for dessert.
Thank you very much, Merril

Tech issues are always frustrating. But food choices are always different (and a much better) story. Happy weekend Derrick!
Thank you so much, Miriam
Oh, these handy gadgets can be unpredictable at times, Derrick …
Thank you very much, Ivor
Glad to know your computer was fixed ASAP.
Thank you very much, Arlene
Sometimes I think tech stuff has a mind of it’s own. And often the happenings can be a bit scary.
So glad your computer got fixed quickly.

Oh, no! I am so sorry to heat that! All that scamming and bad nonsense people do these days that hurts other people is just so scary and angering.
Glad Apple got it all dealt with today!
Thanks again, Carolyn XX
That’s worrisome about your computer, and I’m glad you got it fixed. I’ve had a few issues with mine, as well.

Yes, I saw that it was a scam in your post I read today. I’m glad the issues were resolved.
A warning to everyone. Never call a number on the screen that warns you of somthing. Leave and go get tech help for Microsoft or Apple using a verified number. Microsoft or Apple never calls you is the rule. You were lucky that in this case the number was valid. I do computer support and one of the most common scams is popups on the computer telling you to call this number to fix an issue.
You are so right, Sherry. The number wasn’t valid. It was a scam. All now properly protected with the help of Apple this morning. Thank you very much.
I am glad to hear you equipment is safe and secure, Derrick!
Sounds like you all had a wonderful dinner at The Red Lion. Treasure the time together.
Thank you so much, Lavinia
Sounds like a good day and a lovely evening with your sisters.
Thank you very much, Sue
Many feastings were had!
Thank you very much, Widders
That is a horrible feeling to turn on a computer and find it locked or even hacked. So much wasted time and money to fix it back to normal. I’m glad Apple fixed you up. What a fun day with the ladies Derrick! Dinner sounds wonderful!
Thank you so much, Diane
Hmmm, very tricky scam
Thanks very much, Robbie
I am so glad you learned quickly that it was a scam and were able to correct it.
Thank you very much, Crystal

Not so lucky as it turned out. Thanks so very much, Sheree
So I read, but it’s sorted now
