      But over time older programs no longer work after newer versions come   
   out.   
      Sometimes a program made for an older Windows OS will work with the   
   newest one, but not all.   
     And sometimes the new programs are better than the older version.   
     Properly maintained, etc a 1990 car will still operate as it should in   
   2021.

     Solie can be painfully slow at times.  But I usually just d/l whatever   
   while doing something else.   
     What I hate on some sites are pop-ups telling me to turn turn off my   
   adblocker programs.  Nope, just click the box to go away and I'm good. :)   
     Before I used adblocker programs the screen would be so full of pop-ups I   
   couldn't read anything, do anything, etc.
