Their local depot is about five minutes away and as you can imagine at certain times of the day every other van seen is a DPD van and, I guess, due to their tight delivery schedules 'Joe' and his mates have little or no respect for the speed limits or other road users, hence a lot of complaints, unfortunately without much success.<br /><br />I hope that piece of string is long enough for you to be able to retrieve the memory stick when one of the dogs decides it would make a tasty little snack!! <br /><br />Safe trip to Glencoe...enjoy the weather!!...[;o)<br />The Heraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393815486440597141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-37826108781864002232013-05-08T13:15:25.649+01:002013-05-08T13:15:25.649+01:00I like the 12.31 -13.31 delivery time by the trans...I like the 12.31 -13.31 delivery time by the transport company.

While SSDs are great my experience of them is that if they fail they fail hard. Usually with a normal disk you know they are slowly failing as you end up with the odd file you can't read or it starts to make a funny noise. With an SSD all will be fine until one day you turn it on and the disk just won't work (it will probably report the wrong size) and you won't be able to access anything on it. So backups of the important stuff is the answer, but as you shoot lots of RAW images you can't be keeping them all on the laptop anyway so I'm guessing you have this covered.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-74137761240243755462013-05-08T05:34:55.870+01:002013-05-08T05:34:55.870+01:00I could live very happily with that Land Rover.
