  1. Had this back from Joe via his ebay presence: Hello Martin. I'm afraid it's now gone. Family commitments, lack of time, and other changes in life. Sorry, Martin. Happy collecting. All the best, Joe. A real shame with all his wonderful research and photos etc now vanished for evermore unless he chooses to publish in a more permanent format. Copy and pasting from the net is no option for sites like his - each of his hundreds of photos, enlargements, hyperlinks etc would have had to be individually copied and would have taken hundreds of hours as no doubt building his website did. Thus is the ephemeral nature of the web... Michael Gouby's website is similarly massive and meticulous; how sad it will be if all that research is one day lost from the net. Oh for books!! As Paddy says above: I too don't expect the net to last problem free for that many more years!! Books doing well at 2000 years plus and counting 😉

  2. Yes, I keep a tangible copy of everything important. I even have all my favourite music on CD. If, or probably when, the internet goes up in flames for whatever reason, all those people who rely on cloud storage are going to be lost, although that will probably be the least of their worries!

  3. Fairly easy to get a CD drive stand alone that plugs into the computer via USB. I picked one up at a charity shop for £2!

  4. Best way. I still listen to CDs at home. I'll often pop in the charity shops when i am out and about looking for CDs & DVDs. I am not a big fan of these digital copies. You don't really own them , it's more like a rental service.

  5. As paddy said just get a USB DVD drive, no more than £22 ish. My main PC doesn't have a DVD drive so I use a USB external drive.

  9. Yes - the Spink books site seems to be broken. I have no idea whether this is permanent or just a glitch.

  10. I didn't know the Kama Sutra included a position "bent as a love token". Has anyone tried it?
