Re: Windows 10
You'd really be happier using Linux of some sort, Neto. Most people really aren't troubled by those things. They just want a computer that works when they turn it on, and will do what they want with the least amount of fuss. I think those of us who lived under DOS and were accustomed to batch files ...

Re: Windows 10
I decided that rather than ask this in the other thread, I'd start a new one. I'm wondering if others miss any particular features there were taken out since Windows 7.

It looks like it's going to take a quarter the time that it would take to get if directly from the server. I'm using Torrent RT Free...

Re: File associations lost
Robert, did you ever look at Solus? That's a new linux distro put together by Ikey Doherty, an open source engineer working for Intel's Open Source Technology Center. If I'm correct he was responsible for starting the original Mint project. Not familiar with that one. I will read up a bit. Thanks f...

Re: Presidential elections, for whom are you?
This is one interesting US election. I can't remember an election where so many people had to decide which candidate they disliked least.

Re: File associations lost
Because Windows has loaded the default "Microsoft" mouse drivers and it is up t date. Check the manufacturer and model of the mouse and search for drivers from that manufacturer. You should find what you need. Did your mouse come with a disk? Yup, but the software is for Win XP and is not...

Freedom of speech vs gender rights
