Write the email and move the mouse cursor over the 'send' button

Then fasten a pulley to the roof above the mouse and thread a rope through it. Hang something heavy and pointed right above the left click button on your mouse and then at the other end hang a bucket full of water.

Check that the heavy object is capable of lifting the bucket when empty and either punch a very small hole in the bucket or wait for natural evaporation.
When enough water is gone the bucket will raise and the heavy object will press the mouse button and send the email.

Simples.

Is it possible to connect one digital aerial to two televisions?

Do you mean the aerial itself or the freeview box? What's a digital aerial? You can split any signal, although sometimes that can affect the quality of the output. Sometimes you might need a powdered splitter to "boost" the signal. These are expensive.

A roof top aerial should be able to support multiple televisions though, I would have thought!

I want to be able to schedule sending an e-mail at some time in the future... boomeranggmail.com offer a service for Gmail, but I don't really want to allow it into my e-mail account. Is there a really safe way? I see there are apps to do it with texts, which I might try; but I try to keep the number of apps down on my phone. Is there an easy way to do it with text?

If you use Microsoft Outlook there is a facility within that to send emails at a specific date/time.

*Note to self, think before posting next time*

Thank you Herc. There aren't any hardware stores near me so I think I'll order them online.

You're welcome - decent hardware stores are a thing of the past I am afraid. I don't think there is one in the town I live in, besides online shopping is a breeze these days..............which is why there are no local ones left. Shame
Used to love the smell that hit you when you entered the door. All gone.

Hey HGT why were you so well known round the bus station toilet?

It is probably an Exchange Server feature as opposed to an Outlook client feature, and you won't be using Exchange Server unless you're doing this at work.

Also the presumption is you actually mean Microsoft Outlook, as opposed to using 'Outlook' to mean the Windows 8 email app.

OK, so I know virtually nothing about this so would like some advice please.

I want to enable my disabled wife to speak to my daughter and see her new baby on a lap-top or tablet (?), something along the lines that I have seen on say The Big Bang Theory where Raj even speaks to his parents in India.
They are using lap-tops that have a built in camera or sometimes a camera mounted on one.

I understand there is a system called Skype and maybe video calling - are they the same thing? And what is involved, apart from the hardware - is it free? Is it by subscription?

Thank you
