Born in Scotland - the highlands, with a lot of snow, joined the Navy, went to cold places, lots of snow, seconded to intelligence, served in listening stations in very snowy places, lived in North Dakota, Northern Nevada, Alaska, Finland, Iceland, and Falkland Islands, all of which have plenty of snow, I have been very close to both poles, hiked through snow fields and glaciers and been stuck in deep snow miles away from anywhere.. therefore I have had more snow than most folk, and don't need any more. 
Why do you ask?

I haven't sent the laptop yet, ran out of money, so will send it at month's end.
Today I decided to see how many cookies this site generated - there are 35 tracking cookies from FTE - I reckon that is a severe invasion of my privacy, and should be dealt with by the site owners, but as the trackers are invited to a site maybe the commercial owners of this forum don't care about my privacy??? maybe time for me to vanish again.

That's cause they're following you to what other sites your own.. They watch what you post if you have any kind of record with them like small bans etc.
I don't care if they deny it or not.. Just like if any word hats in they're list of no-no words for pm's, it'll be flagged and they'll read your pm's.. And ban ya..

Theo, it's really hard to avoid cookies on any site. But if you would like to turn them off, look here -->> Managing Cookies, How to enable & disable a Cookie - All about Cookies

Being a geek I have no problem not being bothered by cookies - my comment was information only. This machine deletes every cookie that arrives within a second, the firewall ensures nothing at all is sent out by any other means than direct input, and this makes me a happy geek.
I have two 'things' that intercept any activity, then remove the active object if not specifically allowed by me to operate. I really enjoy the levels of security a protected MacPro has..
Whilst checking each site that the cookies came from, I noticed that some of them were attempting to insert spy malaware onto my computer - they couldn't manage it but I do not doubt that people with limited protection on PCs will have the software hidden in their hard-drive somewhere, collecting data, and slowing the machine down. That was the primary reason for my original comment, to make aware those people less geekish than myself.
