Print back issues are in their online store. This seems to be the
issue in question:

http://shop.linuxvoice.com/product/issue-4-uk

(It is a pity it is not so easy to take an image of Windows 7 or 8 and
virtualize it.)

David,

That url is only to order a paper copy (at ?7.50), not to print out a single
article on the pc :(

To buy it the whole thing on spec, in the hope that it will be
usable/workable/understandable by the lay user, no thanks, I'm afraid!

I'll soldier on with dual booting - its worked in the past, and looks to be
functioning reasonably well now at last, thanks to Chris.

With only 1.28Gb physical memory in the laptop, and just 250Mb free
available, I suspect that trying to run two systems at the same time would
be a recipe for spectacular crashing....

Best wishes,

Dave. (Posset)
