   I love tea!  My favorite is PG Tips.  I do like darker coffees / teas though.   
   But my parents were raised in New York and thats what they drank.  I got used   
   to putting too much cream and sugar in either; i'm down to cream.  I can't do   
   diuretic's, as I've had past kidney failure.  Oddly, the doctors said coffee   
   was fine while within the hospital, but not tea.  I can feel the difference   
   too, as the caffine does not impact me with coffee, but amps up my heart rate   
   with tea.  But I love how tea stays hotter then coffee, even if a coffee   
   press is used.  Wierd.

   I had been away from windows for a good part of 7 years while running my   
   business.  I was able to use my iphone for all business functions.  What I'm   
   not liking about windows 10 is it's apparent attempt to transition to more of   
   a google chrome environment.  I don't like the "Ap" features, nor the   
   abandonment of 16bit applications, nor the punisment to 8gb of memory if the   
   32 bit version of 10 is used.  I always find it odd that either the softare   
   is ahead of the hardware or visa versa.  I think ensuring   
   downward compatibility is important, if for anything nostalgia.  But the push   
   for cloud computing I reject.  I'd rather have my stuff on my system and   
   not tied to a paid format.  I remember being able to load multiple malware   
   programs, each more effective with particular types, then others.  In   
   addition, a free standing virus program.  I uninstalled ALL anti virus and   
   have been using whats built in to windows 10 now, which works well.  I have   
   found that one program will state all is good, the other will find 10 errors   
   somewhere and correct, causing the other to freak out.  Without knowing   
   enough about the inner workings of said programs, I, for the moment, have   
   given up on all of them.   
      
    DS>   I had to get rid of Firefox. Something this last Windows 10 update   
    DS> did, Firefox would never load after a reboot. Plus, it kept crashing   
    DS> when I was on Facebook. And, I surely don't want to use Microsoft Edge.   
    DS>    
      
   Re install it.  It works just fine.  Maybe you had an older version.  I like   
   firefox, it has an incredible java script instruction guide.  So I keep it   
   around for that purpose if for anything else.  It's also as compatible with   
   web pages as chrome with what appears to be less invasive notifications and   
   snooping.  Tor is my goto, to avoid more tracking and the such, but it's   
   slower.  Edge is horrible, as is the built in wanna be version of outlook.    
   It's so bad, most attachments aren't even accessible.  I'm slightly   
   disappointed within Win 10, but ... its the operating system I know.  I use   
   powershell more often then windows anyway.  But, I'm planning on connecting   
   my pi4's (3 of them) and learning linux for the first time, here in a few   
   weeks (which I've been saying since March, but ... life gets in the way).  My   
   kids are already ahead of me on the PI's.  Smh.
