Computer Failure

 

The power supply for my PC decided to give up the ghost a couple of weeks ago, it died on the Friday night, my local computer shop does not open on a Saturday so it was Monday before I could get it in for repairs, I was using my stand by PC for some reason the settings are different, as the two posts I started did not register on the blog, it also still shows my 'Forgotten Vinyl' blog, I opened the blog and the posts were still there the links had gone as the server account was closed, the site was used for the budget labels such as Embassy, Cannon, Big Six & Avenue, for some reason long forgotten I put the Topo Gigio and Wilfred Lawson records on the site, much to my surprise the links to the Topo Gigio were still working and the link to the 'b' side of the Wilfred Lawson record was still active, I may have been testing different servers before I decided to go with DivShare, later DivShare had some problems and then just disappeared, I think I lost two tracks some people lost irreplaceable recordings, the two I lost I must have deleted them accidentally from the back up memory, I still had the 45, so I redid the recording, I don't think I ever replaced all the lost links.

The picture is of a young Biscuit, she will be 5 years old next Sunday 16th February, the Rainy Days money box was started when a Planet Industrials  announced that they were going to produce a model of a Kerr Stuart 'Victory' 0-6-0T locomotive, being one of my favourite loco's I started saving towards the cost, the models came  out a couple of years ago, I am still adding to the fund though the loco's are long paid for.
