Aint dead yet

Sorry I have not died yet.

Been busy trying to learn this new computer and OS. This Win 10 for me has a learning curve.

I actually like Win 10...it seems to be much more stable and faster and it breathed new life into one of my older laptops.

I finally decided to dump the ms operating systems and ordered an Apple 27" IMAC 5000. Tired of buying a new computer every 4 to 5 years and paying for extra virus protection. The PC I now have, I am going to relocate to the Grand Daughters office as a back up or spare.

Good choice. I've had my IMac for about 5 years and love it. Apple support is great too, so I've heard...

One more Mac guy! When you get tired of the mi=ouse wheel going the
wrong direction you can easily change that. That was the only thing I hated
with one of the OS upgrades.

I just applied the registry hack to my shop laptop. Still like XP Pro.

The PC going to back up is running Vista which I have no problem with. It's just that ms's os seems to get slower with every item you down load.

I gave up on Windows and went with Linux. There was a learning curve
involved as well but I'm mostly past that phase. Google is my friend when I
do have problems.

I still have an old XP laptop to run AE.
