Both my home PCs crashed yesterday, requiring a complete reinstall of Vista HP on one, and the other is still down becaue it is stuck at the chkdisk - which it does complete successfully, but doesn't seem able to flag up the fact that it's finished, so starts all over again 
. I'll sort it out eventually - hopefully without scrapping the current XP-H installation.
On a much sunnier side, (albet with a tinge of sadness) my niece started a new facebook page dedicated to my dear departed little brother, Philip (her Dad). Facebook seems to have galvanised our entire family into keeping in touch with each other - and there are members of the family I didn't even know about.
One of which is a special effects guy working on big budget films and TV. I'd better not say any more about him, as no doubt he's a busy fellow, and I've not actually met him yet, so don't know what his views on privacy are. Suffice it to say that if you've ever watched TV from behind the sofa, then you'll know as much about him as I do.
