Late posting!

I have just realised that I missed my posting yesterday. I have forgiven myself and allow an early post today. I missed yesterday as hubby and I were setting up a new computer to run with an open-source operating system.

The time was taken up when I was making a back up of the windows operating system already insatlled, in case we decided to put it back on later. I put a DVD in the writer with a label on it. Guess what? The label came off and got stuck so the writer stopped working.

We now know how to remove and install a DVD writer! After taking the writer box out then realising that we should have had the DVD holder open, we had to put it back and power the computer up to open the drive. Then we took it out again, shone a torch inside, and there was the label. Stuck down one side. Tweezers to the rescue and a steady hand pulled it out, complete. Phew!

After reassembling everything, the computer works fine, as does the writer, so all recovery disks got written. Then we installed the open-source software and fired it up. All is well! The only trouble was the time. It was nearly 1 am by then and I am definitely not a night owl. It was time to hit the sack and blog posting was the furthest thing from my mind.

So here is yesterday's post.
