Is the market suffering somehow with people        staying with previous OS versions or perhaps trying Linux or        iOS for the first time?               NA> What really was a big letdown was the way that you cannot        NA> have labels on taskbar items anymore, just icons. I see no        NA> logical reason for them to change that behavior. And this        NA> becomes a real mess when working with multiple instances        NA> of the same program, document, spreadsheet etc.              Maybe the aformentioned "smart" people do one THING at a time        anyway! LOL               NA> And its 2022 and adding an IP printer is still a        NA> convoluted mess.              That reminds me of the rigmarole that I went through to connect        an IP printer to my network at the shop. I was really excited        when it did finally work! But that was back with Win7. I'm        surprised that Win11 still doesn't address the IP printer issue        properly!       --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.51        * Origin: (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 18/200 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131 129/305       SEEN-BY: 129/330 331 153/7715 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/1 6 360 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 206 317 400 424 426 428 452 664 700 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 266/512 280/464 5003 282/1038 301/1 113 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 335/364 342/200 396/45 423/81 460/58 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 5020/1042       PATH: 221/1 301/1 229/426           |
