   In a message on Friday 10-13-16 Roger Nelson said to Ed Vance:   
      
   Good morning Roger,   
      
   EV>HG> ..., but ZoneAlarm, nor AVG did inform me about an incoming   
   EV>HG> connection,   
      
   RN> All you have to do for that is change your upgrade settings; i.e.,   
   RN> download, but do not install without your okay.  I do that here.   
      
   Yes I know, but I haven't found that setting, even though I have tried.   
      
   Today came another upgrade, and I could read the report of what it had   
   upgraded. Nothing alarming there.   
      
   EV> When I got the Commodore 64 back in 1984, I was wanting to learn what   
   EV> makes them work.   
      
   RN> That takes me back.  Too bad they couldn't produce a more affordable   
   RN> Amiga. That was a heck of a machine, but no one was writing programs   
   RN> for it.   
      
   I agree, my GS had one, and there is still an Amiga DOS manual on the   
   bookshelf.   
      
   The reason why nobody wrote programs for it, was that it was considered   
   to be only a game machine, as were the earlier Commodores.   
      
   There were in fact a few (a couple ?) office programs written for it,   
   but the Amiga never took off.   
      
   If it had, even OS/2 would have been superfluos. It was that capable.   
      
      
   Have a nice day,   
      
   Holger
