I think it was on Mon or Tues this week, when I ran the usually updates
that come from the update manager. Now at random times the screen freezes
and nothing seems to work to be able to shut down. I am not a teckie so I
don't even know how to use "Terminal".

1. Can I reset the system to last week somehow - I only use cloud based
products , Google apps, Dropbox, Xero, WorkflowMax and such like, and store
hardly anything on the system.

2. Should I upgrade to 12.10 and how do i do that?

Many thanks
