John Heaton Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Firstly - a belated "Many Thanks" - to those blokes who wished me a Happy Birthday on my 87th last week - and thankfully - not too many wished me "Happy Returns' because on that infamous day - ------ My mid range PC went belly up in a massive crash - that eventually wiped out 4 HDDs which has meant a complete rebuild with all new bits and pieces and I am at the moment downloading everything again - this time upgraded all the important bits and mS have designated it "Ultra " all through on my SSDs The bright side of this is that she who must be obeyed - readily agreed to the huge cost - as a Birthday present to myself 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boetie Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I feel your joy John. I had the same permission granted to me a few months ago. I also got a nod of another upgrade when I retire in the future! Enjoy your new system mate. Cheers Graeme 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Great that you have a wife who supports your hobby John . I too started with a new pc earlier this year and had to download everything. The good news was that the new pc gave me more power and storage space. It sounds like you are finding that as well. Have fun with 'Ultra' . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wain71 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 that's a right pain there John, glad you got it sorted....I hope your downloads and installs go well....I have warned the wife that in 3 years when I hit 60 I will be buying a new system, she did not contest my decision, I think that means it's okay... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
