     Interesting. Ironically, I saw a message from Sophos this morning that   
   "Windows 7 has reached the midpoint in its support", and Micr0$0f+ is   
   getting set to end support for it, like for all previous OS's, and get   
   folks to upgrade to Windbl0w$ 10.   
      
     As I've noted before, I can't see throwing money down a rathole, just   
   to satisfy Micr0$0f+'s bottom line. If it ain't broke, don't fix   
   it...never mind that I can't afford to do the upgrade...and I can't see   
   sacrificing a bunch of perfectly good working hardware and software.
