    PCSPECIALIST Windy, innit?

    The last 3 storms have been to the south and west. Eunice only gave us snow. Arwen, Malik and Corrie were different matters.

    PCSPECIALIST Windy, innit?

    Fortunately, these last two storms stayed further south. Storm Arwen cut my power for 100 hours, Malik for 12 and 24 hours later Corrie for 19. We just got 4 - 6 inches of snow from Eunice. I have definitely had enough of 80 - 100 mph winds.

    PCSPECIALIST Spec for animation

    2 x 2TB Barracudas is what I went for in my build for slow storage. I only hear them if I am accessing files from them and they aren't particularly loud. I also have M.2 drives and a SATA SSD for faster storage

    PCSPECIALIST bout to buy - any last chance changes - this is my max price

    Obviously, if you transfer your Windows licence from an existing PC or laptop, you won’t be able to use that. If you can’t transfer Windows, you are as well adding Windows to the order. Be aware that cheap keys available online are not legal keys and can cause you all kinds of problems.

    PCSPECIALIST What are you driving at the moment?

    I have completed the NC500 route before it became well known and there was little traffic then. Fortunately, there are other areas up he that are not so well known, so it is still possible to escape the crowds.

    PCSPECIALIST What are you driving at the moment?

    I have used the ferries from Kyle and Mallaig and never thought them a problem (I was on foot). They did have the big advantage of limiting car access. The bridge is also ugly and looks out of place.

    PCSPECIALIST What are you driving at the moment?

    The NC500 was much better before it was publicised as such. There were few tourists then and almost no camper vans or caravans. Also, Skye was better before the bridge.
