OK that's it. This is my last Windows computer.

I bought this computer last year with a recent Intel processor with 4 cores and lots of memory so that there would be plenty for future Windows upgrades. I ran the checkit app that Michael recommended and it says that my processor is not on the compatible processor list. It says everything else is fine; just not the processor.

I'll use it until Windows 10 is no longer supported and then replace it with Linux.

Mind you, it should be OK, cause you've been implanted with Bill Gates' micro-chips. I suspect that when the time comes, you'll be able to upgrade to Windows 11.

Microsoft pulls the plug on Win 10, 14 Oct 2025.

You better get going on those 50,000 log books or else you have two choices:

1. Calculate all the positions; or,
2. Buy me a new computer!

The National Archives seem to be down at the top level (e.g., https://catalog.archives.gov/id/23714412), but the page level (e.g., https://catalog.archives.gov/OpaAPI/med ... 1-0022.JPG) is OK.

It's working for me at 19:17 UTC at page and top levels.

It's working for me too now.
Drat! I have to go back to work

Go and have a drink to celebrate its return.

Just be thankful you're not working with sideways maps! I can't tell what's worse, mouse cramps or setting your display to Reverse Portrait and having to relearn mouse movements.

If you've never used these, you have to click on the image and roll in to zoom...

The National Archives seem to be down....

The forum server is responding very slowly for me at this time. It's up, but just very slow.

Seems OK for me....

Now it is slow

Doing a bulk download at 2200GMT and seems OK to me.
