This Way Up: When Maps Go Wrong (and Why it Matters) by The Map Men (of YouTube fame). Very entertaining, interesting and excellent for map nerds [like me!]... :)

Hi Chris, Thanks for your reply! The collection is mainly "Uncle Stan and Aunty Shirly" I think, with just a few "interesting" ones that are the ones she wants to have cleaned and scanned etc. TBH, I think her best bet is to have them scanned (she doesn't have a scanner) and then do what she...

A friend has a large collection of slides taken by her late father, including some from Brands Hatch showing the likes of Graham Hill, Jim Clark etc racing, which she would like to get scanned and maybe processed to enhance their quality. Problem is that they are showing signs of degradation...

I'd say 8.5 years is OK - I've had both WD and especially Seagate NAS rated drives fail after much shorter times than that. I went with Backblaze hard drive stats, and I'm moving over to 4TB Toshiba NAS rated drives (HDWG440) as the WD ones fail. Early days with them though - I currently have...

Started sneaking into Tandy and using their display TRS-80 and programming it in BASIC (until we got kicked out!), then a friend of mine's dad bought an Ohio Superboard 2, must have been about 1980-ish? Then school bought a Research Machines 380Z and a 480Z to go with it. Turns out that...
