I don’t think that I can cap any of the horrors here, so I won’t even try – know when you’re beat!!
Happy Xmas to one and all and a Prosperous New Year to everyone.

I’m old enough to remember when images were stored in a cupboard, no upload limit, no possibility of hacking, no clouds, no drives, no Google this or One Drive that. Storage capacity was limited to the number of albums and the size of the cupboard – they seemed to be happy days then!! ????
Happy Xmas and a Prosperous New Year to you one and all.
Going back into my shell now! ?

Great news Bob – what a great Xmas present.

Just been digging – I have found a copy of XP SP3 – which I or a friend may have downloaded when it was in vogue. I also have official MS SP1 and SP2 disks but the SP3 is home made. Had it for years I have no idea whether this will take you any further than anything you could buy on Ebay?
Anyone with views on this?
I too use an old XP PC about once a year – I have a labelling programme that won’t work under W7 and that PC is connected to the internet. To date no problems but I am aware …. !! I can’t really disagree with what far more knowledgeable people have said here. Currently I am still a hard & fast W7 user!!

What I think history teaches us is that we do not learn from it and continually make the same errors over and over again.
Sadly we now live in a world where ‘paper qualifications’ are paramount – you may be able to do it on paper but put some tools into the same guy’s hand and he’s lost. We seem to have lost the time when “he’s a damn good (plumber, carpenter/painter/tiler/plasterer/mechanic …. et al)” to now be in a world where unless there are paper qualifications to match the guy falls by the wayside. So much talent wasted on the throne of educationalists and faceless bureaucrats in distant and unrelated offices dictation often on matters they have little knowledge and comprehension thereof.
My grandfather (died in 1962) was a ‘master carpenter’ as they were termed in those days – a 7yr apprenticeship to a mater carpenter and my God could he make wood talk – no electric tools in his workshop just a circular saw – he could turn out stuff far better than machines can do today – BUT he had NO qualifications – would not have made it today.

Hi Mark,
I once met him at Venue Cymru in Llandudno – he was giving a talk. Met in the bar – a nicer, more down to earth, genuine person you could not wish to meet. Had he been a teacher many more would have enjoyed their school history lessons.
Luckily in North Wales we have the quarries / slate mines and the narrow gauge railways all interlinked and of the IR period.

Yes like so many other places Wales has some fabulous historical places to visit. Personally I am not a history buff – teachers at school killed that off with their teaching of history – K&Q of England etc. etc. (not making a political point in any way).
I far prefer history from the 1840s – the history of the industrial revolution so to speak and one of the greatest exponents of that was the late Fred Dibnah – who made it all SO very interesting.

Bob,
” .. In all my visits to Wales, I have never visited Llantwit. I must correct that soon, although SWMBO wants to go foreign next year …”
To many of your countrymen, Wales is a foreign place. lol

Glad to see you back with us.

Just got this from the Oberon Gallery in Leicester – bargain. Am a fan of Dale Bowen and his paintings. £500 down to £356!
His VW Camper vans and their intergallactic settings, piloted by silly looking sheep really tickle me. Hence “Space Sheep Enterprise” as the title.

A nurse told me that when 2nd class letters are ‘posted’ on a Thursday they don’t actually leave the hospital until the following Monday!!
So much for “No. of appointments missed today” scenario!!

Ed P – thanks but I am still using W7 Ultimate – never bothered with W8 and can’t really say that I like W10.

Thank you one and all, the solution suggested by Jukebox worked a treat thought it took a while to complete. Response at this time seems quite speedy compared to what it was.
Thanks to you all,
Dave
