Wonder where these updates came from ?

XP users will continue to receive updates to the Malicious Software Removal Tool and also to any components of earlier versions of Microsoft Office...

How to keep on using Win XP for another 5 years

Well, I thought I would give it a go...

17 critical updates...

On restart it seems to work absolutely fine... So far... :)

And Microsoft would say that wouldn't they? :)

Yeah I have the Teac 3340, I think it still works. Ham Radio,
good for you.. One of my Uncle"s was a big time ham radio guy, he knew several languages so he talked to people all over the world...I used to love to got to his house just to see his rig, it was massive..it was quite a long time ago and all gear was tube. He also was an accomplished musician...

Take care
John

A lot of hams still cherish and regularly use tube gear John, but as with cameras, I now prefer the benefits of using modern equipment :)

Cheers

malco555 br br Very cool, looks like your studio.... (show quote)

The first pic was at the BBC radio studios in Birmingham in 1974. I was working full time as a photographer but I also did freelance audio engineering work evenings and weekends. You can only see the one in the pic, but to the left of that was the second of a pair of Studer quarter inch decks.

The second pic was around 5 years ago. It's a Teac A3440 quarter inch 4 track that I bought for a project that never happened. I sold it on a couple of years ago to buy more gear for my other hobby, Ham Radio...

Now retired, but still enjoying my photography and also talking to people around the world on the airwaves :-)

Here's a pic of my current radio "shack"

Yes, Davis, CA is a "college town", home to the University of California at Davis. It is the primary agricultural university in California. You probably know that via your brother.

Good to see that there are still people intent on keeping analog alive and kicking!

I agree there were cost restrictions, but "not much room for experimentation" and "school" should be mutually exclusive.

This was a three year, full time, college diploma course, covering every technical and scientific aspect of the process. Most all of the experiments that were done in class were done to prove the science. Like I said, pure old school. As students we only got to experiment in a "let's do this totally differently" way (if we had the time or even the equipment) outside of "school" hours. I guess it's very different these days?
