There seems to be something in Youtube (apart from from the irritating adverts) that freezes the PC. It's either throw it out of the window or do a hard restart with the off switch. Switching off and back on is still winning at the moment. |

Just bought a 2022 iPad Air to replace a 10 year old pad that wouldn't upload an up to date operating system. I'm using a 10 year old Dell desktop with Win 10 loaded. It still works but needs Fan Control to keep it reasonably quiet for most of the time. I've just done a 30 day trial of a driver updater & that's updated those drivers it could find and update. It seems to have helped speed things up & stop the freezing. |

I would have put a Gary Glitter video for comparison but Gadd is quite rightly off limits (musically fantastic in his time but then trashed his reputation & destroyed those memories).

27 Sep 1986 Metallica bass player Cliff Burton was crushed to death after the bands tour bus crashed between Stockholm and Copenhagen. During a European tour members from the band drew cards for the most comfortable bunk on the tour bus, Burton had won the game with an Ace of Spades and was asleep when the tour bus ran over a patch of black ice and skidded off of the road. He was thrown through the window of the bus, which fell on top of him. Jeez  |

29 Sep 2004 Keith Moon's five-piece drum kit, custom-made for The Who drummer in 1968, sold for £120,000 pounds ($215,772) in London to an American collector, setting a world auction record for a set of drums.
Wonder how much they'd fetch 18 years later?
These were filmed on sound stage B at Shepperton Film Studios in Middlesex during the afternoon of 25th May 1978.
RIP the two members of The Who
John Entwistle (October 9, 1944 – June 27, 2002), aged 57
Keith Moon (August 23, 1946 – September 7, 1978), aged 32
