Artesania Latina "Swift - 1805" - 40th Anniversary of Purchase Build [COMPLETED BUILD]

[seadeep]

Hi, I found some, but not the whole build. will add them.- it is not always easy to find what you are looking for with a harddisk with more than 40 GBYTE

You raise a very, very valid point. With the large amounts of inexpensive storage we can now have available on our computers, planning and structuring your storage directories becomes a key part of your data backup and archived content plans. If you want to find things, and find them relatively quickly, that's a big consideration.

So now for the bit where I explain how I've gone deep into the rabbit hole of digital storage. lol

I'm a retired IT Manager (I use that as a preface and also an excuse for my behaviour), so you don't want to know what I'm running for NAS (network attached storage) on my home network. 84TB!!! That investment is more than I paid for my first new vehicle back in 1979. lol

From the research I did while building my kit, I'm of the belief that there are four distinct versions of the kit. I've actually built the model twice, albeit the first one was my very first wooden ship kit... and built over forty years ago. That first one was also the first release of the kit by Artesania Latina, and is the same as the one you built. This build log is based on the second version of the Swift kit, also from decades ago. Then there was a third version in which they adjusted some of the running rigging and added a couple of cannons to the kit. And then lastly, their fourth release which is the one using CD/DVD media and gong with the single planked/painted route.

Semi-related aside... I tend to buy my PCs from Dell, and then customize the build to meet my needs. One of those needs is to always have a CD/DVD/Blueray device available for both reading and creating discs of my own content (vacation movies and slide shows). The good news is that if someone has a PC or laptop that doesn't have a disc player, you can readily find inexpensive USB connected devices on Amazon and other sources. A quick search on Amazon yielded a PC attached CD/DVD player for $23 CAD, and a player/burner (creator) CD/DVD/Blueray for $70 CAD. I have an older version of one of these that I used to use with a Windows 10 tablet when I was working away from home. Lots of options if one needs to be able to play content from disc.

Thanks for your info. Yes, I will have to buy a Burner and Reading devise -USB -
I have never been a computer expert, so although I try to de-file my info -diving into the group, but maybe not the right way. i may later ask you for some advice
