I was dubious about commenting on this, but as others have done so I will join in. I would be in favour of moving this sub-thread elsewhere. I understand that a substantial minority of Windows users are still on versions earlier than 10. One...

You don't have to do anything. I use W10 and a copy of Office 2003 (with the compatibility pack for the later XML-based Office products) on this machine and I have no intention whatsoever of changing. My e-mail client dates back twenty years....

Will an update to Windows 11 actually help you Bryan? I've been using Windows 10 and Pinnacle for my film editing for many years and never had a problem. I must admit that a steam train video is nowhere near as complex as a Star Wars movie.[BJ]

70000 approaching West Malling. I had been /still am fighting yet another Windows 10 update all morning and so I was late being ready to go out. And coupled with uncertainty as to how the train would be formed I photographed it one mile from...

free2grice liked 21B's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
But not frequent. I am 100% in favour of safe operating, but it is important that we retain some sense of proportion. I am not entirely convinced we are. CDL on heritage railways??? There’s no evidence to support that requirement universally....

A grand day out on the South Devon Explorer on Saturday. Fairly sedate running from Birmingham to Bristol, load 9 plus dragging 37 240 probably not helping. The highlight of the day was the storming run from Bristol to a brief signal check just...

free2grice liked S.A.C. Martin's post in the thread 35028 Clan Line.
Ralph, I would suggest you retract your last comment, publicly. @Big Al perhaps you could have a word with your colleague and remind him of the forum rules. I would like to make it clear that there are no “hangers on” at the MNLPS, and I think...
