IT "Ground Hog Day" .. Hard Drive Failure (again)

Urk!

My stand low-spec "stop gap" Windows 7 laptop from my pre-Christmas crash gave out (probably out of despair with all the BBC Brexit reporting I was reading I was doing) and left me with an empty void. Twice in two months. Despite being 'days' over the warranty the local tradesman honoured the repair out of 'good will' which was much appreciated.

However I took advantage of the post "Xmas/January Sales" and got the family a more up-market Windows 10 beast. This one has moving internal parts - SSD  [Solid State Drive], which also means no CD which is a pity, so another 'hard disk' failure should be unlikely (but not impossible with a family of kids like mine)!

I thus return to the "blogsphere"!

I am back .. Did you miss me?

The curse of the computer struck me down. This time a "motherboard" issue that burnt out, Ho hum, at least I got all my data this time ;)

Nice to be bad, al beit on a lower specification machine!

Re-united (or rather re-spawned) with a PC and Internet access :)

But the crash was a bad one.
Installations abound.
Nice to have data like this in the cloud!

Lost a lot of free wargamining stuff stored locally, but that is just another excuse to go down load it again if it is still their.

Luckily my blog has most of the links I need
