HAMPERED BY COMPUTER PROBLEMS

Dear VRC members,

As you have probably noticed I have been off-line for the past 10-12 days. I was hampered by some very serious problems with my W10 workstation which caused me to do a complete rebuild of my PC. New motherboard and i9 processor and expended memory the 64GB, new power supply, new graphics Nvidia RTX 5080, new ssd hard drives (now 10TB storage) and Windows 11. In fact only the computer case remained the same. Especially the loss of data and restoring my email server caused big headaches. The data was recovered and restored from back-up, but getting the email back to where it was before was a troublesome and frustrating experience.

Anyway, as you can imagine this absorbed all time and energy in the past 2 weeks, especially because I am not a computer expert and these kind of things you are faced with every 6-10 years or so. But ready to dedicate all my time to the 2025 VRC Worlds now and start working on doing the race videos for the 9 official Worlds classes.

Apologies for my absence these past 2 weeks, believe me a very stressful experience, but I should be OK now for the next 6-8 years, or at age of 76, for the rest of my life!

Enjoy the VRC Worlds

Pieter
