New PC

Without a PC no website. But also PC's are getting old and sometimes even crash. This is what happened "the other day".
A new PC is operational now and I am busy to get everything in good order. It is a massive job and every new transition takes more effort
(more data to transfer, new version(s) of MS Windows to adapt and all kind of hard- and software not compatible / working anymore.
This was (also) slowing down "desmodromology".

I disabled the "Nedstat Counter" summer 2011, because of disturbing advertisements.
Spring 2012 I started to use Flashcounter for statistics.
