Those holiday lodge places.

They have a dozen or so luxury lodges with hot tubs. £1k a week in the summer and not much less in the winter. Are the owners making an absolute fortune?

I have a large word document (c.60 pages) and need to reconfigure it, including moving large sections around, reformatting bookmarks, links, etc.. . What's the best way of doing it?

Is it starting with a new document and cutting and pasting to it?
Or just reformatting the existing document?

Working from just a laptop, nor can i work from two screens now, so just wondered what you wise folks think?

TIA.

I would copy first and keep that as your bible, always good to have a back up!

I would turn track changes on, then cut & paste etc.

Or, what I normally do is delegate it :D

Bitcoin mining - what's that all about?

I get that people earn Bitcoins by using computers to solve complex mathematical problems, but is there any actual use for the solution to those problems, or is it just a way of gradually increasing the supply of Bitcoins in the world?
