09/08/12: Computer back and running again
I got my CPU back on 09/06/12, and was able to reinstall Adobe PhotoShop 6.0. This let me download and edit the digital images in my Nikon, so I could post the backlog of stored images on to the website.

08/23/12: Computer down
(Posted 09/04/12) My computer has succumbed to extra-sneaky malware/viruses, so I've had to hand the CPU over to my expert computer fixer. Don't know when I'll get it back, so until then, no ability to download, edit, and post new images to the site. I'll continue to work on the Hasegawa Mitsubishi JACK, taking photos as I go, but leaving them on the Nikon D5100, until I'm computrified again.

08/23/12: Subdivided PROP PLANES page
(Posted 09/04/12) The PROP PLANES sub page of the AIRCRAFT tab was becoming unwieldy, taking too long to download, so I added a new sub-page called PROPS-WWII. This new page will contain propeller-driven aircraft from 1918 to the present time.

As I experienced when I subdivided the AFVs page, upon creating the new PROPS-WWII page, from a copy of the PROP PLANES page, I promptly lost all of the galleries for all the subjects. Of course, I didn't need any of the WWI subjects on the post PROPS-WWII page, anyway. When I get my repaired CPU back, I'll restore the missing post-WWI aircraft galleries.
