    GP> I went 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, 98SE, that horribly slow Windows, Vista(Ugh,   
    GP> don't ask!), XP, 8.1, 10, & recently 11, even though I turned off   
    GP> updates!   
      
     Was a Windows Vista a lousy hotspot to visit??   
      
    GP> In between, I tried Windows 2.0 on DOS 3, just to try it, & ran   
    GP> Netscape  0.9beta  on it, on a 300 baud "high speed sysop's external   
    GP> modem"! (for real!)   
      
     Yeah, I started with Netscape, then Internut Exploder. I've also used   
   Opera (I was using it when it was still shareware), Firefox, and Edge. I'm   
   back to Opera now.   
      
    GP> Went onto AltaVista search engine & a couple BBSes just so they could   
    GP> screencap "that idiot user who called in at 300," & brag about it in   
    GP> sysop echoes!   
      
     I remember when one got a 2400 or 9600 or 14.4 modem, you thought you   
   were really smokin'.    
      
    GP> Ouch. . same. . . my spine is crushing hard one one of my discs.   
      
     The bones in my neck are pressing on the nerves, and I can hear the   
   bones grinding when I turn my head.   
      
    GP> My doctor told me to watch my weight, sol I've put it all up front here   
    GP> so it's easier.   
      
     You've got to have a shed for your tool.    
      
    GP> Or, "When you've got a plow this good, you build a roof over it to   
    GP> protect it from the elements" *LOL*   
      
     See above comment.
