Vida & Dice
I am wondering how useful they would be for me given my lack of technical ability.
Am I asking for trouble (a little knowledge being a dangerous thing) or will I actually get some benefit from having them. I already have an old laptop (this one) which I could dedicate to it, running windows 10.

Well Maurice you've had a quite a few views and no replies, perhaps it's the respectfulness of the members here as not to offend.
So here goes....under your user name " New Member and total Prat". I like your honesty.......from your post...."lack of technical ability" and "a little knowledge being a dangerous thing" are in my eyes a good enough reason to leave well alone. But hey everyone needs to start somewhere...so good luck.

Thank you V70Zig, you rather confirmed my suspicion.
(in, I must add, a most diplomatic way)

Installing Vida on a laptop has proven difficult for lots of people...and some gave up........Getting the Dice working has been the same for many.
Should you want to.......then I would advise getting in touch with a member on here.....cheshired5.... who can supply you with a laptop fully loaded with Vida and a Dice unit or VCXNano, both work well and can communicate with our cars.........then the fun starts....but do you really want to ? Here to help if I know the answer.......................I take it from your user name that you might be an old bloke like me...Morris Minor ?

Lets just say I start receiving my state pension in November. I've never owned a Morris Minor sadly, but some years back I started writing a book where the head of the Mynah family was Maurice, his wife was Minnie, son was Cole and daughter was Opal.
I enjoyed the puns so I use Maurice Mynah on most of the forums I belong to. Thanks for your offer of help, but I think I'll stand back from Dice and Vida for now.

Old bloke like me then....a few years for me, but not many for my pension....
And if it helps...I would never consider writing a book...far to far for me. It wasn't a offer of help for you specifically....as a forum we try to help all...if we know the answer that is.............. All the best.
