    PCSPECIALIST I bought my pc from curry’s pc world but I’m wondering if I could get an upgrade from pc specialist

    They send you a graphics card. You remove the one fitted. fit the new one you buy from them. then it’s up to you what you do with the original one you bought.

    PCSPECIALIST Valhalla - free game

    It’s well worth getting, heading towards completing it, all order of ancients and zealots dead (apart from Father). seeking Excalibur at moment. what would be good is if preference was made to those that contribute to the forum. e.g someone with 1-2 posts versus someone with 10 but 8 of those...

    Does streaming music (including YouTube) reduce or increase the number of people producing music? So to get a record pressed, you nearly always needed a main or indie label to do it. less people making more money versus more people making less. now just say you increased it to 1p per stream...

    Ones such as my Uriah heap one came with programme inside. Yes loads photos as well and lyrics. I had ocd when people put sleeves back in so the record could fall out of sleeve.

    Not just storage space but also safe storage to prevent warping and damp etc. actually had some from 1980’s in original cellophane wrapping and inside a plastic record protection sleeve. I do miss the artwork that was prevalent on Album covers, Yes, Mountain, magnum, etc and Picture discs...

    Really good collection. we donated circa 1100 records over last 8 months, mainly to a couple charities but also to some friends. My wife worked in a record department (not the virgin / HMV type) and I had been collecting since 1970’s. Meant we got one of rooms back and my mate has his storage...

    Nope, generalisation. unless of course you have copied music from others, friends etc, then that is illegal For example copying music from someone else’s hard drive etc.

    What size, type and age are the drives. sometimes adding old HDD to a PC can have a sort of negative impact on the user. I have a 2TB Hdd , 10 yr old sitting in a draw, I should wipe it and use but I know it’s slow and would frustrate me.
