It is with regret that I must report a temporary absence from the Internet for the time being. After a long faithful service our home computer died today at the age of almost ten years. We knew this was on the cards and were in the process of transferring data to floppy disk. Unfortunately we hadn't completed this process and unless we can get the thing working again we have lost all our photographs from our honeymoon in Budapest in 2003, and all Davyd's photographs from his business trips to Crete and Costa de la Luz, as well as one or two pieces of software that we no longer have the disks for. Fortunately my family history, one-name study and the multiple records of transcriptions and searches that I had done are safely stored on floppy disk. I can still get access to the Internet at work, though I have to be careful about the amount of time I spend on the work computer using it for personal use. I can also use Davyd's work computer for essential emails only (like this one). We are exploring getting a new computer, but don't have the spare cash lying around at present. If you wish to contact me in the meantime, the best way to do this is the old fashioned methods (which will be sent out separately rather than to the email lists). Hope you're all well, Graham Taylor-Paddick Aylesbury, Bucks, UK "This book is not to be discarded lightly: it should be thrown with great force..."
