Q1)Raising a Flag over the Reichstag was first published on 13th May, 1945. It showed that the Soviet Army had reached where: Berlin, Munich or Cologne?
Q4)13th May, 1830, saw the birth of Zebulon Baird Vance. Vance was the 37th Governor of where: North Carolina, South Carolina or West Virgina?
A4)NorthCarolina. (The man was considered comparatively progressive for the time. Wikipedia tells us he owned slaves, is — in modern terms — a racist, and was said to have been a senior member of the Ku Klux Klan.)
Q5)Finally … ? Ásgeir Ásgeirsson was born on 13th May, 1894. He was the second president of where: Denmark, Iceland or Greenland?

* I don’t know if I’d have the patience — or the knowledge — to be able to do what your cousin did, Olga. But if you DO need to access the old drive? You can get things call docks — and caddies, as well — that let you use old drives with a computer. I used one for years, as extra storage. You just plug the drive into the dock, and connect the dock to a computer with USB.
You’re possibly right about some of the difference between PCs and Macs. Most PCs are like cars: there’s a couple of neighbours who can change a spark plug/hard drive for you. Most Macs are like fridges. The most technical thing we do is take some thing out of them.
† Hello, Mum!
‡ I’m surprised you haven’t done it, already, Debbi! But I know how busy you are: and how difficult the arm is.
But yes: that’s about right! Oh … did I mention what they call the 3-2-1 back up rule, at any point? We’re supposed to keep three back ups of stuff, on two types of storage, and one off site back up. Best I can do is Time Machine and some bits on iCloud!
Q5) The Mediterranean Sea Oh, I regularly use the old hard drive as storage, with no problems at all. That is much larger (memory wise) than the one I removed from my old computer myself, so I haven't touched that one. I just didn't want to leave it on the computer, first, because it was fine, and then, because I'm never sure what information can be extracted from them even when one tries to wipe it clean. My cousin only seems to have patience for computer-related things, not for anything else, but, I guess that's something. To tell you the truth, if I'm trying to get his attention (as he doesn't always reply to e-mails otherwise), I try to find something vaguely technical that might interest him. That way at least I know he's still alive. Oh, it did rain eventually, but they carried on with the performance although in the place they use for training. Not quite as spectacular, but, here I leave you links to their own sites. They are els Castellers de Sants (human castles) and they celebrate their 30th anniversary. There are much older groups (collas, in Catalan) but they aren't bad. Here you can see the women's castle (most groups are mixt these days, but it is great to see a castle made by women all the way) https://www.instagram.com/p/CsMUOsTgj46/ It is particularly important to complete it but also to manage to undo it as well, without anybody falling off. Here you can see all of the castells they made (there was another colla from Sitges. They did well as well, although they didn't bring that many people). Here, check the whole post... https://twitter.com/borinots/status/1657430728563367936
I'm familiar with the rule and observe it slightly in the breach.
I do backups with Time Machine and an offsite provider. And I'm still recovering, in more ways than one. :)

I've been through loads of PT and OT. The last occupational therapist I went to created a splint just for me. My dystonia is so intense and relentless, the splint broke. Even though I only wore it at night, while sleeping. Um ... :)
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
