Technical Help / Re: Help with “C drive full” issue, please

There is a fairly comprehensive article on cleaning up your drive in an issue of Computer Active due out on the 10th April. I subscribe and have already had my copy. I freed up over 60gb on my drive. Not saying you would but lots of pointers on what you can do and also what you must not do.

The Common Room / Re: Battles and Commanders names used as forenames
« on: Saturday 06 April 24 20:24 BST (UK)  »
A quite long lasting forename is Glyndwr, over 5000 on freebmd. Taken from Owain Glyndwr the welsh leader who fought against the english in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. One of my uncles had this forename. Another had the middle name Dorrien from General Horace Smith-Dorrien under whom his father, (my grandfather), had served in WW I.
