I haven't seen you posting lately. Waszup with all dat?

Hiya Zia. I have family staying with me at the moment and I'm taking the chance to have a break from the keyboard, which is taking it's toll on my arms. I'm still here though, just resting.

Hello there

It's about time Henry made his way over there. I mean, isn't it filmed over that way. Oh well.... better late than never.

Smile.

Bye

You'd think we would have got it first being it's classed as a British costume drama but apparently it's an US production, filmed in Ireland, so we had to wait for one of our channels to buy it. I'm glad Auntie Beeb bought it...means there's no annoying adverts interrupting it.

It's been good so far.

Have a good weekend.

What a fool. He needs some R and R. I would call the police on that 'heart-attack about to happen' and have him locked up in jail for a little time to unwind. He could forget about cashing his last paycheck too.

I agree, although sometimes I feel like doing that to my computer. I guess having been the one who put all the effort into building it in the first place helps me to understand most problems I encounter.

Do you remember the old days of these types of crappy computers?

Computers in the 70's? Toots, that long before my time.

I remember big tape recorders and answering machines. I remember 8-tracks. I remember when we use to have to get up to change the channel on the TV. I remember rubbing two sticks together to make fire to cook my food that I had to go out and hunt for. I remember when I had to walk 5 miles to school.

I was lucky, I think I only had to walk about two miles to school.
Do you remember those giant black CDs? I think we called them "Records".
Up until a few years ago, along with my modern TV, I still had an old "portable" colour TV with a handle on the top and channel changing knobs. A clicking one for VHF and a strange rotating one for UHF and there was a button to change between VHF and UHF. I had only kept it because it was the first colour TV my family bought when I was quite young.

I do recall all that stuff. I built a special section in my library for my LP's. I'm sure there are well over 5000 on the selves. Music has been in my life as far back as I can remember. I still play LP's from time to time. I have a turntable that will transfer from the LP to CD but I don't bother with it. Lots of my stuff was never remastered or sold on CD. I got rid of all cassettes. I couldn't be bothered.

I'm off to bed now. I'm on East Coast time now which means noon will be coming an hour early. I'll just sleep in the sand tomorrow. Nite-night.

In Australia we have "Fair use" laws which means if we own a legitimate album on say a record or tape, we can legally copy it onto another media format or download a higher quality version from the net, but we must keep the original record or tape.
Some albums sound better on record than CD though, don't you think? Live albums always seem better that way.

Good night, Zia
Have a lovely night.

Yo Dude... I didn't mean that I wouldn't duplicate for my personal use. I'm just saying that I've been to lazy to do it. There is nothing illegal about transferring from one format to another for personal use in the USA either.

I got the first part. I've been too lazy to copy mine over too. I've got free LP to CD copying software for my computer.
I didn't know it was legal to copy albums between media types there too. You may be able to get a torrent file of some albums if they've been re-released on CD elsewhere. I've still got my old records and most of my old tapes. Anything I still like, I've been searching for as a torrent file to get a near-CD quality version. I keep my original albums too of course. Otherwise it'd be stealing.

Hope you're having a pleasant evening.
