They are worse then the "Robber Barons" of       Railroads and Oil in the 1800's              DS> You know it angers them no end that folks are running OS's like MacIntosh       DS>(Apple) and Linux, using browsers like Google Chrome and Firefox rather than       DS>Internet Explorer (or whatever the deal is now in Windows 10), and using sea       DS>engines such as Google Chrome rather than Bing.              I have played w2ith Linux once in a wgile and my brain jsut refuses dto       understand it. Their cryptic Command line, Necessary to to do far to       many things, is a nightmare.       A couple of months back I tried it again with the Mint Cinnamon on a       laptop. I use a swap the hard drive dual boot system. I also had a Win       10 hard drive for it.       Someone broke into hte house and stole the laptop and when I replaced it       just for fun I put the LInux Hard drive into it to see what would       happen. It booted up and ran just fine. Then I tried it in my Win 10       desktop and the same thing, runs without a hickup.       So now I have a backup for using the internet when the Win 10 instal       blows up in my face, Which is still screen freezing on me and doing blue       screen self boots       I was suspecting the Mother baord but since Liuux runs jsut fine I am       not sure.              DS> Believe me, if I wanted to upgrade, and could afford to, I would. That       DS>applies to OS's, cable TV setups, etc. Also, when I purchased my copy of       DS>Windows 7 32-bit from Amazon, I likely got it much cheaper than what Microso       DS>originally sold it for...I think I paid around $70, with shipping.              I grabbed one of those OEM win 7 deals also              DS>Daryl              ---        þ SLMR 2.1a þ 0         * Origin: Check Out Doc's QWK Mail Via Web BBS > DocsPlace.org (1:123/140)    |
