ya know, I understand completely. 3 sport star in high school, worked in the library all 4 years.

to this day, walking into any library brings to me that smell of musty tomes that canNOT be reproduced, and it's always a fond remembrance.

I too have very fond memories whenever I visit any library, I love the smell, particularly of old books, musty tomes as you call 'em, I enjoy the peace and quiet and could visit all day.
I've always been fascinated with reading and learning, when I was 11 or 12 I used to help out in my local library, I loved every minute, my forté being book stamping, at school I was the fastest and most accurate reader which is probably why they promoted me as I could catalogue books quicker than anyone could blink an eye

Certainly. A solid-state drive appears to the system as a standard SATA drive, and all the applications that run with a standard disk will also run on the SSD. I've imaged a laptop with a 32gig solid state drive using Acronis True Image, worked just fine. I confess I didn't try to restore the image, but I have no reason to believe that wouldn't work.

Yup, pretty much word for word on how I feel. Heck, I still know the DD system, for crying out loud.

Scared? Not at all. The issue just didn't come up since I were able to repair the Windows installation. The backup was just in case I made a large mistake. I'm actually 100% confident that the restore would have worked just fine, just wasn't needed.

Too early, put a turkey in front of me! That will save me the price at the supermarket!

I used to 'mislay' various bits of sports kit if I fancied missing rugby in the cold of winter!
The time filler provided by the teachers was to go and tidy the library
... putting all the books in numerical order

Impossible! For instance, here's a .22LR 50 yard target, that's a 10 shot group. I think that turkey's a goner!
