      In a message on 04-28-18 Tom Walker said to Daryl Stout:              GM Tom,              I'm very glad to see you here again.

I have never been a friend of Windows but I       don't regret the upgrade from XPpro to Win10pro 32-bit.              I have jumped all versions between XPpro and Win10pro but I wouldn't       trust Windows to run a (my) BBS. I do every once in a while get the blue       screen telling me "Your PC ran into a problem .......". It's not the PC       that has got a problem but apparently Windows 10.              >Wise Move on not upgrading to Win 10              I got the itch to upgrade when I received a laptop as XMAS gift from my       eldest grandson working in Stockholm, and found Win10 quite usable.              TW> IT also as it comes in some cases does the same thing.       TW> On the wife's Win 10 machine it keeps downloading an upgrade and       TW> then saying that upgrade not allowed.        TW> I have done multiple tricks from the Internet and nothing has       TW> helped. The roll up Win 10 upgrade still fails.              So far all the upgrades to my stationary PC as well as the laptop with       Win10pro have worked without a hitch.                     73 de Sam, OH0NC              aka Holger                     ..
