Hi All, I've been receiving a continuous stream of the same emails (mainly from four addresses, three of them Apple ones) today - sclose to 2,000 messages. Old iMac (2008, system 10.9.5) but the same is happening on a 2010 Macbook, 10.13. It does not happen either on the iPhone or the iPad.

I am going through the same process for my ancient April 2010 MacBook 13. Crucial suggest a BX500 or an MX500. Not too clear which to choose. What size screwdrivers will I need? I am assuming that an external unit would not be as fast with my USB version Regards John > On 14 May 2020, at

Hi All, Help please. Does anybody know anything about this? I’m normally ultra careful but this time have fallen foul of what seems to me now to be a very strange Talk Talk scam to do with very poor line speeds and the sending of ‘Talk Talk’ engineers to my home twice to ‘fix’ it (the first
