Lets have a Winge / Re: The Times They Are A-Changing
« Last post by punkinblue9 on Tue 07 Oct 2025 21:02:12 »Wise call on the A3 scanner. Have been lucky, or fortunate, in that respect. CD refused to read, so decided to copy but had to replace the 5-disc cd changer & cd recorder as that one function decided to fail. Everything else worked !! Seller seemed impressed that I knew about.
Find the Apple disc reader has trouble reading more than twenty tracks, so there’s always the Samsung cheapie, as back-up, but both had trouble reading. Copied with the new recorder and all’s well that ends well. Both read the copied disc, without a glitch.
Guess what I was trying to say, is that the digital age has to be doing more harm than good.
You wouldn’t have to worry about “reading” discs, if digital but perhaps set in my ways, as I still prefer the hard copy (books, movies, songs).
That’s another thing (!) and perhaps more to the point, that the hard copies are harder to get. Easier to download songs, movies and books, plus they don’t take up space, but I begrudge places like iTunes, setting their “hooks” in me, as noted, trying to delete “their” songs. You can’t.
Apple used to be all-in-one, but now you have to buy externals but guess that’s another story…..
Always back-up. I have three hard drives but it’s all do-it-yourself; not wholly reliant upon the computer, or so I think.

Lets have a Winge / Re: The Times They Are A-Changing
« Last post by deutros on Tue 07 Oct 2025 17:55:32 »It works the other way as well Punkinblue I bit the bullet a few years ago and decided to buy an A3 scanner found one in the US reasonably priced postage a bit high but considering the unit was relatively cheap compared to here I wasn't to phased. Then disaster a lighting strike turned out the power supply was cooked so bought what I considered to be the equivalent here it worked but not properly so I decided to by one direct from where I bought the scanner power supply about $30, posting and shipping $180 so I let it pass as there was no guarantee that the problem still wasn't the machine.
