Sadly, I doubt whether I will ever renew all the records that were stored in my computer or find the time to do so. A piece of advise to all researchers, keep your records up to date, download onto disc and store that disc elsewhere. I never dreamt I would ever be burnt to the ground, it can happen to anyone. Norman Archibald in the Yarra Valley, Victoria.
