MaryL Sorry if you were worried, Boyfie and myself are both well, although he was not eating well for a few days, he is fine now. I have a new laptop, but can't get emails and Usenet on it, I can do facebook rpca on it though, which is where I am now - all the old rspca-ers are on there. Haven't forgotten you all, never will, and will pop in now and again on this old XP machine to say hello Tweed |

Haven't forgotten you all, never will, and will pop in now and again on this old XP machine to say hello Tweed Thanks for the message. I am so glad to hear that you and Boyfie are doing well. I am puzzled about why you can do Facebook but not email and Usenet. Have you checked with your provider? It seems that any computer should at least be able to handle emails. Are you able to use Google? That is an awkward route, but that would be one way to contacts us. And how about News.Individual.Net? I know you liked that service, and perhaps they could help. At any rate, you are missed. MaryL |

Jill Well, I could have done, but I didn't trust the laptop - which is good as it got the windows 10 update and then exploded, which is not so good. It's now in the computer shop, and its not good news. Hard drive is shot. Luckily I maintained my e-mail and Usenet on here, my old XP desktop. Which cannot do facebook any more :-( and not much else really. Every time I google it says "you are using an outdated browser" I can't argue about that, really. And the reason it is outdated is because..not because it's not fine but because they want us to buy new versions. |

Everyone thinks I'm some kind of Luddite because I own electronic gadgets that are more than 3 years old. So because I'm not in lockstep with the mandate that we must all buy new expensive stuff every couple of years, people think I'm intimidated by new technology? No, I just choose to keep using something that is perfectly usable. I will confess to a certain amount of laziness - there ways I prefer to use my time other than learning a new device every couple of months. If we're supposed to upgrade each device every 18 months, I figure that with all the devices we use, there's always something new to be preoccupied with. No thanks. It's fun to get a new toy, I can't argue with that. I just don't need new toys constantly! So don't call me a technophobe. I'm lazy and cheap, that's all. Those are flaws I can live with.

I'm puzzled by that.) -- Joyce Cats' hearing apparatus is built to allow the human voice to easily go in one ear and out the other. -- Stephen Baker |

Windows 10 (WAS: Where's Tweed?

But DON'T forget, the free upgrade to Win10 is ONLY free until late July. And it's highly likely that programs will soon become Win10 or better before they'll install. |

That's true, it's not a true free upgrade. They expect to be paid for it annually, too, don't they? I don't install new programs on this machine on a regular basis. I'll worry about that when the time comes. Jill |

My desktop computer (used most of the time) is 5 years old, and my laptop is even older. They work fine, and I am not interested in learning Windows 10. I also don't want to waste money on a new system when both of these computers (and Win 7) work fine. I know Win 10 is "free" and Microsoft keeps trying to foist it on us, but I don't want it. MaryL |
