now.
I like this old machine more than my laptop :-)

I loved XP, still speaking to you from it, but do remember that that
every
windows program is designed to expire after a few years, so you have
to buy
another. It's how they make their money. If you don't like the idea
of
that, you have to buy a Mac. Which is a computer that costs up to a
thousand pounds and it's capable of doing a lot more than usual people
want.
The good thing about a Mac is that you will never get a virus on it.
My
German friend has one. Debbie has one but both need it for what they
do.
For ordinary people to have a Mac, it's what i will call "overhorsed".
Anyone who has ridden a big horse that they cannot control will know
what I
mean. It's too much for them and so is a Mac for usual folks.more than
you
need.
I am slightly overhorsed by the laptop.




A Mac Mini starts at £399 in the long run they work out cheaper than
Windows PCs.


Yes, but if you've always had a PC you have to learn a lot of new stuff.
Some of us are old enough not to want to go through that.

Going from XP to Windows 10 is hard for us. So many things not where we
are used to finding it, even going to file to print. (I'm happily sitting
at my XP PC typing this. (-;
so am I. I love XP

My new laptop offers me Windows 10, I say not at the moment. I'm running
it on Windows 7. Which is enough of a shock from XP tbh ;-)

NOT true on either point.

I never used XP. Tried it several times, had major issues with it.

I went from Win2K to Vista, and now Win7.

Win7 is pretty much the same as Vista, except many extras I needed
on Vista come built into Win7.

But there ARE things for Win10 to make it look and act like Win7
(or XP, Vista, Win8, etc) if you just check around.

And Win10 is faster, better at memory management, has TONS of
things built inn that needed extras of previous OSes.

I'll do Win10 once AMD releases a certified driver for the chipset
in this older laptop. Many people are using Win10 on this set and
happy with the default video driver, but I'm hoping for something
a bit better. I have several months left to do it for free.

Which is not true?
