    DS> Tea is a diuretic, but better for me than carbonated beverasges.   
      
    DC> I love tea!  My favorite is PG Tips.  I do like darker coffees / teas   
    DC> though. But my parents were raised in New York and thats what they   
    DC> drank.  I got used to putting too much cream and sugar in either; i'm   
    DC> down to cream.  I can't do diuretic's, as I've had past kidney failure.   
    DC>  Oddly, the doctors said coffee was fine while within the hospital, but   
    DC> not tea.  I can feel the difference too, as the caffine does not impact   
    DC> me with coffee, but amps up my heart rate with tea.  But I love how tea   
    DC> stays hotter then coffee, even if a coffee press is used.  Wierd.   
      
     Well, with drinking over a half gallon a day (I'm into heavy drinking ),   
   you can guess what I'm doing several times a day and night.    
      
    DC> I had been away from windows for a good part of 7 years while running   
    DC> my business.  I was able to use my iphone for all business functions.   
    DC> What I'm not liking about windows 10 is it's apparent attempt to   
    DC> transition to more of a google chrome environment.  I don't like the   
    DC> "Ap" features, nor the abandonment of 16bit applications, nor the   
    DC> punisment to 8gb of memory if the 32 bit version of 10 is used.  I   
    DC> always find it odd that either the softare is ahead of the hardware or   
    DC> visa versa.  I think ensuring downward compatibility is important, if   
    DC> for anything nostalgia.  But the push for cloud computing I reject.   
      
    DC> I'd rather have my stuff on my system and not tied to a paid format.  I   
    DC> remember being able to load multiple malware programs, each more   
    DC> effective with particular types, then others.  In addition, a free   
    DC> standing virus program.  I uninstalled ALL anti virus and have been   
    DC> using whats built in to windows 10 now, which works well.  I have found   
    DC> that one program will state all is good, the other will find 10 errors   
    DC> somewhere and correct, causing the other to freak out.  Without knowing   
    DC> enough about the inner workings of said programs, I, for the moment,   
    DC> have given up on all of them.   
      
     I understand they are now integrating a Linux type shell with it, and it   
   will be for future versions as well. I think they're doing to that to pick   
   up the folks that are using Linux. I doubt they could get it set to also   
   do Mac (Apple) programs...but stranger things have happened.   
      
     I have considered putting the BBS in the cloud, so I wouldn't have to   
   shut it down every time there was a threat of thunderstorms (as there   
   is to end the month of July, 2020). But, right now, finances are tighter   
   than a frog's butt underwater, so I have to wait on that.   
      
     At one time, the Synchronet Control Panel showed an "alert" with the   
   IObit Malware deal, but I marked it as a false positive. Windows Defender   
   screamed "infection" with any other malware detection, except its own. The   
   only anti-virus program I've known to not "throw a fit" with any other    
   anti-virus programs, was the one from Sophos. They have what's called the   
   "Naked Security Blog"...alerting you to all kinds of threats.   
      
    DC> Re install it.  It works just fine.  Maybe you had an older version.  I   
    DC> like firefox, it has an incredible java script instruction guide.  So I   
    DC> keep it around for that purpose if for anything else.  It's also as   
    DC> compatible with web pages as chrome with what appears to be less   
    DC> invasive notifications and snooping.  Tor is my goto, to avoid more   
    DC> tracking and the such, but it's slower.  Edge is horrible, as is the   
    DC> built in wanna be version of outlook. It's so bad, most attachments   
    DC> aren't even accessible.  I'm slightly disappointed within Win 10, but   
    DC> ... its the operating system I know.  I use powershell more often then   
    DC> windows anyway.  But, I'm planning on connecting my pi4's (3 of them)   
    DC> and learning linux for the first time, here in a few weeks (which I've   
    DC> been saying since March, but ... life gets in the way).  My kids are   
    DC> already ahead of me on the PI's.  Smh.   
      
     I tried that already...no dice. Also, Firefox crashed constantly on   
   Facebook.
