   Hello Maurice!   
      
   ** On Sunday 24.08.25 - 18:56, you wrote to me:

   I haven't been following Kreb's reports religiously.  But this     
   last comment of his is a pre-cursor to MS's announcement to     
   drop Win10 security updates.

    MK> Mind you I doubt Mint will boot on a 386.   
      
   I think Kreb's point is to mention the linux alternative that     
   would work best for Windows-users on most Win10-equipped     
   machines out there now, not older 386s.   
      
   If I wasn't tied to the neccessity of needing MS Access in my     
   work, I'd be using linux 13 yrs ago on my modest PC equipment!
