I had to scan an early UK Silver Age comic for a volume of the upcoming Black Tower Silver Age. Bad enough that, because of rationed paper and ink at the time, like many of its contemporaries it as what we call in the business "a real bastard". The original comic, obviously, sustained some light damage but it was that or make the comic a rarity that few people would get a chance to see or read oreven hear of.
The clapped out PC (and I cannot afford to buy a nrew one so do not suggest that) hindered me every page of the way. Edit a page to an acceptable quality until proper editing then click "save" and the page shuts down as well as documents. Sometimes 3 times on certain pages. So I had to struggle to get Documents open then re-open the file to work on the page again. 45 pages should be just over one hour's work.
THREE HOURS.
I had to open and edit pages so many times that that the 45 pages became approximately 80 pages.All of this for no reward. I am a moron.
This is why I asked for support to keep not just the old British comics projects going but CBO itself. Even now this small post has taken 45 minutes because of computer problems.
But who cares? I carry on until the PC needs to be buried.
