Windows 10 was released yesterday. I am sure all you computer techies out there have already installed it. I got a free upgrade on the laptop because I bought it 2 months ago. That is the only reason I have it. Too early to form an opinion as it installed last night before bed, and I am just now using it for the first time.

It just released? Mine has been bugging me to update to windows 10 for at least 2 weeks now... IDK if i want to...
Since I have four computers, and only one qualifies for the free upgrade, I figured why not? I am no stranger to new versions of Windows, and was a little apprehensive about it since I have had problems upgrading Windows in the past. Usually with drivers that don't work. However, like I stated earlier, it took less than an hour to do the automatic upgrade, and everything works. It did want to use its own browser, which I switched back to Firefox, but all my calendar remainders are there, I lost none of my photos, or documents, and you can barely tell anything is different. I still have not delved into it much as I had a doctor's appointment to go to, but I will check it out today and tomorrow.
TGIF Nor Cal FTE and friends, and welcome to the last day of July! I wish it were the last day of August, so there would only be a couple more weeks of this summer heat. Maybe I can just hibernate in my apartment for the next six weeks? LOL
Well, I am a happy camper now. Comcast came out and got my cable up and running. Apparently there should have been a splitter in the self starter kit so I can run the cable box and modem off of the same wall jack. This apartment has two wall jacks, but the second one is not connected to anything. So I got to watch two whole hours of Emergency on MeTV! WooHoo!
Also, found out the TV package I have must be a lower one than I had before, or they have changed their packages, because there are quite a few channels I used to watch before, that I am not authorized to watch now. So I will have to check their lineups. While talking to the tech, I found out it is only an extra $10 a month to get HD programming, so I most likely will upgrade to that, but I need the correct cables. Since I have a DVD recorder, I need two sets of the component cables. Both of them about 3 feet in length. The tech goes to his truck, but only has one set, and it is 25 feet in length! I accepted them anyway, as now I only have to buy one set of cables. (Who keeps their cable box 25 feet from their TV?)
And the second reason I am a happy camper is that I got some good news from my doctor yesterday, my CLL is still at stage zero! (CLL is the only form of cancer that even has a stage zero). So, she says she will see me in 4 months to check on me again.
that is good news Jim keep it at 0, I'm researching Indian Mud from a Blood root suppose to be for skin cancer but has been tried on other things aswell, the Indians have been using this for 100 years apparently not for Ageing, will see.
