I've taken the plunge and ordered new SSD and enclosure. I can't justify the cost of course, but this has been my life, ever since my first hardware maintenance course in 1972 (Honeywell DAP16 for temperature analysis at a new AGR nuclear power station in Scotland), through all the years until I led the team who maintained the software in 10 languages on the 15-mainframe Cyber 960 system that runs the National Grid. Well, it did then, but that was in the '90s. Since then of course the landscape has changed utterly, what with the lunatic mania for 'sustainable' energy sources. I retired in 1989 but kept my interest in all things computer. I'm sure it will be with me until my last day. Anyway, I just wanted to show how much I couldn't resist buying the new kit. -- Regards, Peter.
