   In a message on 06-23-18 Ed Vance said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   GM Ed,   
      
    EV> Avast has a Tab selection that checks (some) program I use to see if   
      
   AVG updates automatically when the machine is connected to the net.   
   So does Windows except if it's on a paid subscription line. In that case   
   it just informs you that there is an update available to download.   
      
    EV> When I see the Results there is always a Premarked Box to make   
    EV> Google Chrome the default Browser.   
      
   Every time you install a program you MUST check those boxes. I missed   
   once and had to re-install.   
      
   EV> I see a Prechecked Box to make Google Chrome the Default in Avast!'s   
   EV> Version Update checker and uncheck it before I Close the Avast!   
   EV> window.   
      
   I hesitate to use any Google programs because their snoopy manners.   
      
   EV> I can't recall if I've seen anything about the Edge browser.   
      
   It was previously named Internet Explorer IIRC. I'm not sure though,   
   since I haven't used Windows since XPpro.   
      
   EV> NICE!, that Edge updates its self.   
      
   I didn't say that. I said that the weather map is already updated when   
   it appears, while you have to manually start the update of the weather   
   forecast and map with FF.   
      
   Edge is updated automatically when necessary in a Windows update.   
      
   EV> Recently, Firefox has crashed many times, some times more than once   
   EV> a day.   
      
   AFAIK FF hasn't crashed on me but OTOH I don't normally open several   
   pages during a session. Maybe a couple or at most three.   
      
   FireFox downloads an update while you do other things and installs the   
   update next time you start the program.   
      
    HG> Another Note:   
      
    HG> Years ago I told you that neither Mothers nor Fathers day are   
      
   EV> I probably won't remember it, but what dates are Mothers Day and   
   EV> Fathers Day celebrated in your part of the world?   
      
   I cannot tell you about "your part of the world" but I can tell you that   
   on the land Islands and Finland, Mothers day is on the second sunday of   
   May and Fathers day on the second sunday in November.   
      
   Consulting a swedish calender: Mothers day was the last sunday in May   
   and Fathers day the second sunday in November which seems to coinside   
   with Finland/land at least this year..
