YEP!               I'd think your best bet would be a cheap laptop running Linux, if        you're adventurous. Windows, too - if you turn off all of the        marketing/data options and Cortana when you install it. Just don't        use any of the cloud services and store your data locally on the        laptop.                                                 ... When in doubt, predict that the trend will continue.       --- MultiMail/XT v0.52        * Origin: http://realitycheckbbs.org | tomorrow's retro tech (1:218/700)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 601 123/131 226/30 227/114 702 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 452 664 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 292/854       SEEN-BY: 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/280       PATH: 218/700 103/705 280/464 229/101 426           |
