Thanks for the mention of cheap equipment, but I would rather have
something new. It is old equipment that is the problem!

Yes, I will have to get one of those if needed. However, I think 
I now have everything that might possibly be of use copied to SD
cards, so should manage without the old disk.
 
Other commitments mean I can't do much about a new computer until 
next month, so I hope the old one will last a bit longer.
