Windows 9 YES or NO?

They were here a couple of years back and my wife went to see them. Hayward and Lodge's voices were as good as ever. A trip back to better, simpler times < sigh />
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.
It was a simpler time but don't know if I could live through it again. :)

... of course, this has me in a reverie. I met a wonderful woman the week before her 18th birthday and gave her that album. Somewhat short-sited of me, as that meant we ended up with two copies. Saturday week that meeting will have been exactly 39 years ago and we've been married for over 36 of them.

You obviously don't remember the mockery of Windows ME or XP when it was first released.
Yes and yes, sorry forgot about ME. XP is a great example, because I too avoided it until I gave it a chance.

Excuse Me! The operating system is named WINDOWS 7! Using the correct/official name for an operating system is the most important thing in the world! ... Apparently.

I've never heard of Weven other then in these threads so I wasn't sure what it was

Congrats, in this day and age that is a rarity. With vinyl it's not a bad thing to have 2 copies, I've wore out so many that if I had the money I've spent on LP's I'd be well off.

Thanks Mike. I've started a process of ripping mine to WAV, cleaning up with CoolEdit Pro and saving to lossless WMA. I read a really cool tip on-line that I've yet to try. You put a couple of pieces of low tack adhesive tape on the edge of the album; coat the whole thing with a thin coat PVA wood glue, making sure that the entire surface is covered; leave to totally cure then peel off using the tape. The poster swears that it removes so much noise that the album sounds almost new. Of course, it won't repair scratches, but it seem that most of the noise is from fine embedded dirt!

hmm sounds like it might be worth a try but I just always used the trusty LP Cleaning Kit[^] and of course took good care of my LPs. The main thing I found was to always use a good needle and good turn table. Used to have a good sound system, but the one I have now haven't turned it on in over a year, everything I've got is on my PC.

I always used some variant of these cleaners. The most common one in the UK had a sponge pad covered in velvet. I've seen it claimed that these are great for "lighter" particles, but they'd spread the heavier and finer stuff around causing micro-scratches and then packing the crap in. I retire next April and one project is to retrieve as much stuff from my vinyls (and cassettes) as I can. In some cases, the only replacements I could find have been on YouTube and the quality isn't great.

If I can be of any help let me know, like if something you have is not good quality, etc.. I've got just under 2K CDs most in good condition and covers a broad range.

Thanks Mike. Look me up on fb if you like. I don't have my fb ID here (or password), but my name isn't one of the most common!

Ok Phil I think I found you on FB and I sent you a message. They're are a few on there with that name but since the new privacy stuff you can't get info about anyone until you connect with them.

Looks Like I was wrong. http://www.winbeta.org/news/microsoft-publicly-confirms-windows-9-coming-soon No wait the first paragraph ends with "so does this mean Microsoft has officially confirmed the name "Windows 9"? Not necessarily." And what event?
Don't you have some work to do or is this all you do all day? :~

I deny that their political, they only swing left or right when I'm leaning or laying on my side. Physics, not politics - honest! :laugh:
