I can set my heating to do what I want, I can work magic by flicking a switch and make lights come on, I can flick another switch and have music whenever I want it, and I can even change tv channels without getting out of my chair if I choose. And if I want someone to talk to, I can pick up a thing called a telephone.
I don't want to spend the rest of my life sitting lifeless in a chair talking to a machine.
I mean who'd a thort it ... I can remember having to actually stand up and move my legs in that one-two rhythm called walking to get to the TV set to change channel.
All this automaton stuff is slowly diminishing my skill base.

Thank you Morti, see, it takes another woman to understand these things.

See, you're not paying attention Judd.
I said . . . . . " If someone nicked your phone, you wouldn't survive."
And look at your reply.
Your phone's torch wouldn't be much help if it had been nicked, would it!

On the router change I imagine all the smart stuff is on WiFi and was set up to use the original router. Making a note of the SSIDs and passwords for the two bands on the old router and setting up the new one to use those rather than the defaults would save a lot of setup work.
