Jerome Wrote:Just a point to note here - Win 10 (which I currently use) is a hell of a lot better than 8. But there are serious flaws in it - especially where your personal privacy is concerned. Apparently it can allow other users/people/neighbours to hijack your Wi-Fi connection quite easily and it's default settings are set to mine all your data. It's a quite a process to turn all this crap off (I spent quite some time going through this particular exercise) and one never really knows whether your banking transactions etc. are really secure. My advice - if you have Win 7, stick with it. Win 8 and 10 are not really going to give you any advantage, As for Win 9 - who knows where that went. Did it even exist?

Ruby Wrote:An artist I have just discovered – Colin Masson. He makes what seems to be called crossover prog – a good category for something that’s difficult to pin down - with precision! I’m glad no-one has said it’s ‘neo’ prog as I’m inherently suspicious of anything preceded by those three letters, lol! Largely instrumental with a few vocal tracks here and there – he plays a range of instruments, acoustic and electric guitars and produces his work independently. I need to listen some more to be sure, but I like what I’ve been hearing so far - alll solo efforts (his wife, Cathy Alexander contributes voice).

Aside from the above, he’s been the lead guitarist for a prog folk band call The Morrigan since 1984. I don’t know them at all.

Mr Masson is responsible for all his own artwork which is very nicely done IMHO – he was a graphic designer way back when, but says he stopped because he hated it, and took up gardening instead. Clearly he doesn’t have any problem doing it for his own pleasure – ain’t that always the way?!

He’s released three albums - the fourth is presently in the works:

• Isle of Eight
  
• The Mad Monk and the Mountain
  
• Southern Cross
  
• Hunter’s Moon
  

On cursory listens and dips into all, I most like these three tracks from The Mad Monk and the Mountain …
