A quiet night in.

Being a Monday, I had a quiet and non-technical evening in mind. Not so, however. I watched some recordings I had on the Sagem unit and then, suddenly, I was informed that the drive had a problem and needed to be re-formatted. Naturally, being a techy man, I took no notice and tried to set up another recording. No chance, recording was now blocked by the O/S. There was nothing unwatched or to keep so I re-formatted and tried again. No chance, the old password didn't work and the Sagem doesn't have a standard password as it has to be set up on first use. I had to do a factory re-set before it would let me into the system and begin again.
I don't have a problem with this, in fact, as the software is very helpful and well designed for all other purposes. And, of course, in my case I lost nothing I wouldn't have deleted sooner or later anyway. My only worry is that someone who is not as tech savvy as me might end up going around in circles if they happened to have the same fault I did. I have now had a look at the Digital Spy forums and it seems as though my Sagem will happily transfer recordings to a stand alone drive so I will be testing that tonight.
Sall had her first paid gig yesterday and, it seems, thoroughly enjoyed herself.
