I’m going to disappear for the next week or so, my little girl has been in hospital for a few days, and they can’t work out what is wrong, and she is getting worse, so we are being transferred to Sydney (4 hours or so away), so I’ll be offline in analogue world for a while.
All my hopes and best wishes for you and your family my friend. Take your time, take care of your family, we’ll be here supporting you.
I am also sorry to hear about the electronics disaster you’ve had. It’s never an easy thing because it shows us how vulnerable we can be in the digital age. It is also why the scanning and archiving you’ve been doing is so important … because that media may disappear as well and it’s a part of our history.
I support which ever decision you make at this point, no questions asked.
