Most burning programs (see above for link to a free one) have a facility to copy disks without the need to make a copy on your hard drive. If you're copying music, you might be able to get more than the original CD onto the new one by taking tracks from other CDs.

If you haven't got a burning program it's worth trying the free version of Ashampoo. https://www.ashampoo.com/uk/gbp/fdl It says it works on Windows 10 but it's been good on every previous version.

Re: Moseley Swiming Baths Open Day Moseley Baths still runs one pool most of the time. I've seen parties of school children come up to the baths for lessons. It's not been up to capacity for a long time and it has closed for long periods when things degrade too much but there is still a part of...

I'd guess the single letters before the full description refer to the medium. The Ms seem to be mosaic. Ts might be Tile. If the list was in a book or some other form of print, it's probably worth looking at the beginning or end for a key. I don't suppose it's a complete list by any means. All...

The list is at https://risk.historicengland.org.uk/register.aspx?rs=1&rt=0&pn=1&st=a&di=Birmingham&ctype=all&crit= although some of the details aren't as accurate as they should be. I spotted some errors on the entry for Moseley Art School (they say it was sold in the 60s but it was still in use...

https://robspaintings.com/ Not so much of the historical material and the style is more cartoony than regular paintings but this guy paints birmingham scenes that some of you will recognise and, if you can see the captions, he does have a sense of humour. He sells most as framed, unframed or...

I accept you've seen changes but I wouldn't be so sure that your grandparents didn't. https://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/song-midis/I_Cant_Find_Brummagem.htm The link is to an old folk/music hall song from the early 19th century lamenting on all the changes that have been made to "Brummagem" in...

I remember there being a lot more tinned food about when I was young. Then we got fridges and freezers and tinned gave way to frozen. All of it was pre processed in some way which probably changes the taste a lot but preserves the food so it remains edible longer. In more recent years food seems...

A lot of the time it is the same tea. Regular supermarkets will sell own brand Red Label tea in either bags or loose. The difference between bags and loose is in the strength of the brew. You get to decide how much goes in with greater precision.

At the moment the upgrade to W10 is free but that will expire. That's the only reason you should do this now rather than later. Windows will drop support for the older versions over time and once that happens, various other programs will cease to support those versions. If you're using a PC for...

https://brianwilliams.org.uk/diary/1941.html provides a more technical view of that and the following night when things got worse.

I took Latin for a few years in grammar school. The translation is close enough to the spirit of the phrase to work. Even in English "trades" implies business rather than manufacturing nowadays. Artficiorum refers to the craft rather than the object. The good thing about learning latin is that...

The Birmingham Post archive for that period is still on those negative rolls but the access is through a few computers with special equipment on the 4th floor. You will need someone working on the desk on the 4th floor to book you time on those computers and show you how to work the equipment if...

I don't remember when I first saw the sea. I know I was taken to see my Grandmother and Aunt in Eire when I was very young - still a baby. I suppose this would have been by ferry so there's a sea to be crossed there. Definitely between 1957 and 1960.

The New Inn - the one at the top of Edward Road - was supposed to become a pharmacy at one point but that never happened. It was offices for a while but I don't think it's in use now.

https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/library-birmingham-open-12-hours-9733821 More news. This time Brasshouse is moving in or something like that. The library is supposed to be open 12 hours a day in the week but nothing is said about Saturday and there's no chance of Sunday...

Freeserve was an ISP rather than a browser. I think they were using Internet Explorer then although an older disc might have had something like Mosaic. Freeserve was set up by Dixons/Currys in 1998. After a change of name (Wannadoo) the ISP was sold to Orange. If you use online email with Orange...

The lost streets from the exhibition were mostly the old court system ones. When the place was levelled there was a lot of space that didn't necessarily conform to the old street patterns. On top of that they changed the streets to stop through traffic - one of the things that killed the...

I suspect electronic instruments will suffer much more from the coming of fully computerised systems than traditional and electric will. Admittedly there is less of a show to computerised stuff than there is to electronic but the sound/music shouldn't suffer.
