After a weekend rain now the sun shines and today my task of rebuilding my computer is continuing. This has taken aeons are I add more and more pieces of software. In the weekend I duplicated my disk drive using Acronis and am running on the clone. This means that on a regular basis now I can copy the whole drive so if some beta software I install causes a problem I do not have to start the whole process again. I have been told that I can do exactly he same with Virtual PC.

Today I have installed Photosynth.
