    Here's a bit of a puzzle which I cannot work out.

    I'm having issues with Amazon at the moment. Somehow I ended up with two accounts, both registered with the same email address, I shall call them Account A and Account B.

    Account A is the one I normally use, I've had it since about 2005.
    Account B only came to light after my mum accidentally managed to order something on it - I think it was via 1-Click ordering, although she'd never logged in and I'd not used her computer for over a year.

    However the odd thing is that I can only log into Account A from this computer. I can't log in to Account B at all, even when I have reset the password 30 seconds earlier.
    Account B can be accessed from any other computer, but no other computer can access Account A :-?

    I've managed to change the email address of Account B to my other email so I can at least keep track of the two accounts (and prove there are two!), but can anyone explain
    a) how I managed to get two registered to the same email in the first place, and
    b) why I can only access one of them only on this computer, and the other one only on any other computer :-?

    There's a puzzle to occupy those of you not at work over Christmas and New Year ;D It's got me stumped!

    I think it's something to do with the opponent of chartesian duallism which resists the reduction of psychological phenomenon to a physical state, and insists there is no point of contact between the extended and the unextended...... ;D

    The best thing for you to do Miss Loops, Is to open another account and call it account ( c ) use your Mums details and make her the account holder

    This way you can order what you like and yer Mam can pay the bills ( this only seems fair seems yer mam is to blame ;D ;D ).

    I hope this helps ? I do likes to be helpfull ;D :-*
