Delays

Yes, I know, it's been well over a month since I updated the site but there's a good reason.
You can blame it on Maxtor and Microsoft.
I've suspected that my good old reliable PC was showing it's age but the final straw was when the hard drive began to show signs of failing. I know the signs well having had three PCs, originally supplied with Maxtor HDs, all of which have failed.
Anyway, I decided to bite the bullet and get a new PC which, of course, came with Vista.
Not wishing to go through the hassle of reinstalling the OS or setting up dual boot I decided to try it and see how I got on and, although it's taken a bit of time, hence the delayed update, I think I've got everything working so, hopefully, from now on we should be back to normal.
Hopefully, it will be a few years before I have to do this again - Western Digital drives this time - I checked before hand!

Train Sim Fan?
If you are a fan of Microsoft Train Simulator and like to hear well implemented sounds while driving, you may like to have a look at the Evesham Route which is the latest offering from Making Tracks. While I can't claim to be entirely responsible, some of my recordings were used in making the steam loco sounds with this route. And an excellent job they've done too!
