Charlie D Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Hello Neil. If you own a copy of the CD obtained by honest means, then no need to borrow a friends laptop, just get them to make a USB stick copy and destroy the CD. If the CD was not obtained by honest means, then just destroy it . Charlie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xmas6 Posted April 11 Author Report Share Posted April 11 Thank all - legally obtained so I’ll go the stick route! I’m just trying to avoid asking stupid and obvious questions and overloading kind forumites (is that even a real word? ) cheers all Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Morrison Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Hi Neil, yes forumites is a word, certainly one I usr all teh time. Enjoy technicalities, but feel free to drop in here anytime. John. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 Years ago, when I received my Technicalities CD from the club, I copied the whole contents of the CD onto my computer's hard drive - it's so much faster when I want to access an article or to check something.

james christie Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 As you wrote most of the articles yourself it must have been an interesting intellectual excercise to reread them again....’ james Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 James, you exaggerate - there were a great many excellent contributions from Ian Gibson and Pete Cox during my time as Tech Ed, and, of course, those marvellous drawings by Neil Revington. But yes, I did scribble rather a lot, and it was longhand onto paper in those days, with Val typing for the newsletter/magazine. Some of the contributions were so badly written - English usage, spelling, grammar and legibility - that I had to re-write them, which was rather a pain. Will Monsieur Macron be allowing you to start moving about sometime soon, or is the 3rd wave going to force even greater restrictions upon you?
