      MSGID: 2:221/360.0 5e155adc       PID: JamNNTPd/OS2 1.3 20191227       TID: GE/2 1.2       CHRS: UTF-8 2       TZUTC: 0200       Just before Christmas I decided to get a newer laptop than my current XP       T60 Lenovo Thinkpad.              I ordered a T540P Lenovo Thinkpad, with i5 4300M (2.60GHz), 8GB RAM, 1TB       SSD HD, 15.6in 1920x1080 FULL HD Screen, intel HD, DVDRW, and Win7pro/64              But they sent me one with Win10pro/64              I needed Win7 to avoid the risk of any incompatibility issues with       existing software.              Starting the new machine, I am already disliking the unfamiliar swirly       dots waking process. I still have to walk through the set up, and I       already dread all the things I will need to disable, such as Cortina.              Am I doomed?              Win7 for me purrrs and behaves quite nicely. It's an OS that I am       familiar with and can get to a task quickly. This Win10 is an annoying       pot-hole that introduces further delay before I am up and running with       all my apps.              --- Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (Windows/20100228)        * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 19/10 90/1 103/705 154/10 203/0 221/0 1 6 360 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/426 452 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854       SEEN-BY: 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 633/280 712/848 770/1       PATH: 221/360 1 280/464 229/426           |
