The other significant change that I made today was to remove the 'Notify Me' form from the left-hand margin of each page. The main reason why I decided
to do so was because in May my old PC died a natural death (and repairing it would have cost as much as a new PC), and I had much difficulty in recovering
my data from it. I eventually managed to recover my e-mail address book, in which I had stored the list of addresses of those who had requested me to notify
them of additions and changes to this website, but to recover all the related e-mails would have consumed too much of my limited time. Therefore I decided
not to continue this notification system. However, to make it easier for anyone to keep track of the additions and changes that I will be making to this website
in future, in the left-hand margin I have added a note below the What’s New link indicating the date on which it was last updated.
